Procentriole
Encyclopedia
A procentriole is a centriole
or basal body
in a stage of early development. That is, it is what is to become a set of triplets of microtubules destined to form spindles of fibres that will separate chromosomes during mitosis and in order to act as anchoring sites for some proteins. A procentriole generally forms from the centrosphere in relation to deuterosomes (spherical fibrous granules also known as procentriole organizers) and assures that the centrosome becomes two during mitosis in eukaryotes. Only one procentriole forms next to each centriole
during a cell cycle.
Centriole
A Centriole is a barrel-shaped cell structure found in most animal eukaryotic cells, though it is absent in higher plants and most fungi. The walls of each centriole are usually composed of nine triplets of microtubules...

Basal body
A basal body is an organelle formed from a centriole, and a short cylindrical array of microtubules. It is found at the base of a eukaryotic undulipodium and serves as a nucleation site for the growth of the axoneme microtubules...
