The strands are called chromatids. Druing prophase, the chromosomes coil and shorten and the nuclear memebrane dissolves. Each chromosome is made up of a pair of strands called chromatids, which are connected by a spindle of fibers called a centromere.
Spindle fibers.
Metaphase
clotting
Metaphase is the stage when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes. Metaphase is the second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase.
The centromeres of chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers during metaphase. The spindle fibers bring about the separation of sister chromosomes to the opposite poles. When spindle fibers do not attach to the centromeres, the doubling of chromosomes leads to polyploidy in the cell.
Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the center of the cell during metaphase of cell division and break the chromosomes apart during Anaphase.

During the clotting process
In animal cells, during metaphase stage of the cell cycle, the centrioles attach to spindle fibers. These spindle fibers are also attached to the chromosomes which are now aligned at the metaphase plate.
During metaphase each chromosome attaches to spindle fibers. The centriole anchors the spindle fibers and helps in splitting the chromosome.
Metaphase is the stage when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes. Metaphase is the second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase.
These strands are called spindle fibers. Each replicating chromosome lines up vertically on a spindle fiber during metaphase. During anaphase, the fibers pull the replicating chromosomes apart (leaving one chromosome to go to either end of the cell).
The mitotic spindle.Or you can call them spindle fibers.
The centromeres of chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers during metaphase. The spindle fibers bring about the separation of sister chromosomes to the opposite poles. When spindle fibers do not attach to the centromeres, the doubling of chromosomes leads to polyploidy in the cell.
Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the center of the cell during metaphase of cell division and break the chromosomes apart during Anaphase.
