What is the role of the microtubules?

Microtubules attach to the to a structure on the sister chromatids called the kinetochore. Throwing the chromosomes into an agitated motion moving them towards the center of the cell. Then during anaphase they will help with the migration of chromosomes to opposite ends of the cell.


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 structure acts as a scaffolding for chromosomal attatchment and movement?

Spindle acts as a scaffolding for chromosomal attachment and movement. Chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers by undivided structures called centromeres.


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.
