Hello everyone, I have been asking my self: Are centrioles electrically charge? Is that the reazon why they travel to opposite ends on the cell? Is that the reason why microtubles look like an electric field?

I hope somebody can help me out with this question.

All the best.

You're essentially asking, how do centrioles know how to move the poles. It's definitely not because they are charged. Centriole pairs move apart to the poles because they are propelled along the surface of the nucleus by lengthening of the microtubule bundles between them.
