Where are the organelles during cell division, and do they divide too? Please read extra details provided.?
Organelles like ribosomes, mitochondria, lysosomes, etc., are divided equally between the two daughter cells during mitosis. During interphase, the cells regrow additional organelles. As for the Golgi and ER... that is a bit more complicated. They basically break down during mitosis and are reformed after, though it is not fully understood now this happens. I found an article relating to this, but it is somewhat outdated. Most of the more recent articles say pretty much the same thing, this one just does a good job of explaining it.
