The function of the spindle fibers are to divide the genetic material in a cell during nuclear division. During the final phase of meiosis, the spindle fibers pull each set of chromosomes to opposite ends of the cell.

∙ 8y agoSpindle fibers attach to the centromeres at metaphase and separate the splited chromosomes from each other.
Spindle fibers are necessary in mitosis as they help in bringing half the number of chromosomes on each side of the cell, so that when the cell divides, the chromosomes are distributed equally in both the daughter nuclei.

What happends to the spindle fibers in telophase?
Spindle fibers disassemble.
What forms spindle fibers?
I believe that they are formed by the Centrioles in the cell. These centrioles are found inside (encased) in the centrosomes. They combine microtubles and associated proteins (such as Aurora A) to strengthen the spindle fibers.
What are spindle fibers composed of?
spindle fibers are composed of what? Answer: Microtubules
Fibers in the spindle that attach to the centromere of the chromosomes?
Fibers in the spindle that attach to the centromere of the chromosomes are called what?
Describe the structure and function of the spindle during mitosis?
Spindle fibers are necessary in mitosis as they help in bringing half the number of chromosomes on each side of the cell, so that when the cell divides, the chromosomes are distributed equally in both the daughter nuclei.
What is the function of spindle fibers in anaphase?
nothing
What is the relationship between centrosomes and spindle fibers?
Spindle Fibers are formed between centrosomes. Centrosomes migrate to opposite ends of the cell during cell division. The spindle fibers function is to anchor the centrosomes and chromosomes into the poles. The chromosomes then reel them selves in using the spindle fiber.
What structure forms in prophase along which the chromosomes called?
The answer is Spindle Fibers.
What happends to the spindle fibers in telophase?
Spindle fibers disassemble.

Which type of cell has spindle fibers?
Animal cells have spindle fibers in them.
What are spindle fibers composed of?
spindle fibers are composed of what? Answer: Microtubules
Fibers in the spindle that attach to the centromere of the chromosomes?
Fibers in the spindle that attach to the centromere of the chromosomes are called what?
Cell structures made of individual microtube fibers that are involved in moving chromosomes during cell division are called?
spindle fibers
Describe the structure and function of the spindle during mitosis?
Spindle fibers are necessary in mitosis as they help in bringing half the number of chromosomes on each side of the cell, so that when the cell divides, the chromosomes are distributed equally in both the daughter nuclei.
During metaphase the centrometers attach to what structures?
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.
The phase of mitosis in which microtubules connect the centromere of each chromosome to the poles of the pindle?
The name for the network of microtubules along which the chromosomes move during cell division is called the spindle fibers. These spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes and pull them in half.
