This cell organelle consists of two granule-like ~centrioles~ and is found in animal cells only. It helps in cell division. Name, please!

Discussion Overview
The discussion revolves around identifying a cell organelle that consists of two granule-like structures and is associated with cell division, specifically in animal cells. The conversation touches on the definitions and characteristics of centrosomes and centrioles.
Discussion Character
- Debate/contested
Main Points Raised
- One participant suggests that the organelle in question is the centrosome.
- Another participant identifies it as a centriole.
- A different viewpoint notes that while centrosomes are mentioned, the original question is slightly incorrect since plant cells also have centrosomes, but lack centrioles.
- Another participant introduces the term microtubules, though the context of this contribution is unclear.
- A later reply acknowledges a point made by a participant, possibly in reference to the discussion about the identification of the organelle.
Areas of Agreement / Disagreement
Participants express differing views on the identification of the organelle, with some asserting it is a centrosome and others a centriole. There is also a noted disagreement regarding the applicability of the original question to plant cells, indicating unresolved perspectives.
Contextual Notes
The discussion does not clarify the definitions of centrosomes and centrioles in detail, nor does it resolve the implications of the original question regarding plant cells.
