Solution

Centriole helps in cell division They are put to work in both the process of mitosis and the process of meiosis. Before DNA replication, cells contain two centrioles. The older of the two centrioles is termed the mother centriole, the other the daughter. During the cell division cycle, a new centriole grows at the proximal end of both mother and daughter centrioles. After duplication, the two centriole pairs (freshly assembled centriole is now a daughter centriole in each pair) remain attached to each other until mitosis. At that point the mother and daughter centrioles separate.
