The centrosome is located in the cytoplasm, usually close to the nucleus.
According to research, the centrosome has the following characteristics:
- It consists of two centrioles oriented at right angles to each other.
- These centrioles are embedded in a mass of amorphous material containing more than 100 different proteins.
- The centrosome is duplicated during the S phase of the cell cycle (Reference: 14-May-2022).
