What is the change in chromosome number in meiosis?
The Reduction of Chromosome Number in Meiosis Is Determined by Properties Built into the Chromosomes. In meiosis I, two chromatids move to each spindle pole. Then, in meiosis II, the two are distributed, one to each future gamete. This requires that meiosis I chromosomes attach to the spindle differently than meiosis II chromosomes and that they regulate chromosome cohesion differently. We investigated whether the information that dictates the division type of the chromosome comes from the whole cell, the spindle, or the chromosome itself. Also, we determined when chromosomes can switch from meiosis I behavior to meiosis II behavior. We used a micromanipulation needle to fuse grasshopper spermatocytes in meiosis I to spermatocytes in meiosis II, and to move chromosomes from one spindle to the other. Chromosomes placed on spindles of a different meiotic division always behaved as they would have on their native spindle; e.g., a meiosis I chromosome attached to a meiosis II spindle in its normal fashion and sister chromatids moved together to the same spindle pole. We also showed that meiosis I chromosomes become competent meiosis II chromosomes in anaphase of meiosis I, but not before. The patterns for attachment to the spindle and regulation of cohesion are built into the chromosome itself. These results suggest that regulation of chromosome cohesion may be linked to differences in the arrangement of kinetochores in the two meiotic divisions.
What joins chromosomes arms together and is the place where spindle fibers attach to each chromosome?
centromere joins chromosomes arms , the cromatids , together and is the place where spindle fibers attach to each chromosomes
When does the spindle attaches to what structure?
the spindles attach to chromosomes and centrioles
7th grade The eight steps of meiosis?
Prophase I: chromosomes start to condense and become visibleMetaphase I: homologous chromosomes line up at equatorial plateAnaphase I: homologous chromosomes separate and move to diferent polesTelophase I: one set of chromosomes arrive at each poleProphase II: chromosomes condense againMetaphase II: individual chromosome line up at equatorial plateAnaphase II: centromere divides, and chromosomes (from chromatids) move to different polesTelophase II: one set of chromosome arrive at each pole.
How many chromosomes attach to each spindle fiber during metaphase 1?
buta 1
Homologous chromosomes pair and undergo crossing over during?
Paired homologous chromosomes are found at the spindle equator during metaphase. During metaphase the chromosomes line up on the plate and attach to the fully formed spindle.
What is spindle fibers pull the sister chromatids apart?
During anaphase I of meiosis the spindle fibers pull apart in homologous chromosomes. The spindle fibers are composed of micro-tubules. The spindle fibers continue to shorten during anaphase in order to bring the chromosomes at two poles.During anaphase I of meiosis the spindle fibers pull apart in homologous chromosomes.

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?
What does spindle fiber attach to?
chromosomes
To which part of the centromere do mitotic spindle fibers attach during prometaphase?
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.
What is happening when chromosomes attach to spindle fibers?
That would be during metaphase in mitosis and the chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers because each half of the chromosomes need to migrate to the opposite poles. The spindle fibers are temporary but aid in the movement of the chromosomes.
What do spindle fibers do during mitosis and meiosis?
During mitosis and meiosis the spindle fibers allow the chromosomes to line up along the equator of the cell. The chromosomes slide to either pole during cell division.

What phase are chromosomes visible and attach to spindle fibers?
Visible in prophase and attach to spindle fibers in meta phase
What is the phase of mitosis if chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers?
Metaphase is when chromosomes attatch to spindle fibers in the phase of mitosis.
What joins chromosomes arms together and is the place where spindle fibers attach to each chromosome?
centromere joins chromosomes arms , the cromatids , together and is the place where spindle fibers attach to each chromosomes
When do spindle fibers attach to chromosomes?
Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes during mitosis. Specifically, they do so in the metaphase portion of mitosis, in preparation for the splitting of the cell.
