Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

The correct option is : b. centrosome

Centrosome is a cell organelle, which acts as the microbule organizing center and also regulates the cell cycle progression in an eukaryotic cell.

During the prophase stage of the cell cycle, the centrosomes are associated with the membrane of the nucleus. The nuclear membrane ruptures during the mitosis and the interaction of the centrosome nucleated microtubules with the chromosomes leads to the formation of the mitotic spindle.

<u>Therefore, mitotic spindles arise from the centrosome.</u>
