Answer:

centrioles

Step-by-step explanation:

Centrioles are rod-like structures found in animals cells. The centrosome and centrioles proliferate and migrate to the opposite poles of the cell during cell division. Centrioles help in arranging the microtubules that separate chromosomes at the centromere during cell division to ensure each daughter cell receives the appropriate number of chromosomes.
