During which phase of mitosis are chromosomes attaching to the spindle?
Chromosomes attach to the mitotic spindle during the metaphase of mitosis. Part of the answer depends on how you define the stages of mitosis and not everybody does this the same way. The short answer is all of them.
What is the role of the equator in mitosis?
to attach itself to d chromosomes
What is the name of the fibers that line the chromosomes up at the equator of a cell during mitosis?
Spindle fibers from the centrioles attach to the chromosomes and pull in opposite directions at the metaphesal plate.
What are the jobs of protein fibers during mitosis-?
During mitosis, protein fibers attach to the chromosomes on opposite ends of the cell, then help to pull them apart so that the cell can divide into daughter cells with copies of all the chromosomes.
What would be the role of the centrioles?
During Mitosis, during metaphase, the centrioles grow spindle fibers which attach to the chromosomes located currently on the centrosome. They then pull one half of the chromosome to their side of the cell, this process is called anaphase. They then disappear.
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.
When during mitosis do chromosomes attach to spindle fibers?
During mitosis a double-stranded chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber centromere.
During which phase of mitosis are chromosomes attaching to the spindle?
Chromosomes attach to the mitotic spindle during the metaphase of mitosis. Part of the answer depends on how you define the stages of mitosis and not everybody does this the same way. The short answer is all of them.
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 stage when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes?
Metaphase is the stage when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes. Metaphase is the second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase.
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.
Where do microtubules attach to chromosomes during mitosis?
kinetochore microtubules bind with spindle fibers.
What is the role of the equator in mitosis?
to attach itself to d chromosomes
What two things happen during Metaphase?
During metaphase - the second stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle - the chromosomes, pulled by the spindle fibers, line up along the middle of the cell, halfway between the centrosomes in the middle of the dividing cell. The chromosomes are now maximally condensed. In mitosis, individual replicated chromosomes, each composed of two sister chromatids, move to the equatorial plate during this step (whereas during the first division of meiosis, pairs of replicated chromosomes (tetrads) line up at this stage). This lack of pairing between homologs during mitosis is a fundamental distinction between mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis, unlike meiosis, produces identical daughter cells, because each homolog divides into two identical chromatids during anaphase.
What is the name of the fibers that line the chromosomes up at the equator of a cell during mitosis?
Spindle fibers from the centrioles attach to the chromosomes and pull in opposite directions at the metaphesal plate.
What is an area where the chromosome are attached?
The chromosomes are attached at their centromeres, which in turn attach to spindle fibers when being pulled apart during mitosis.
What is responsible for moving chromosomes during mitosis?
The mitotic/meiotic spindle originating from the centrosomes and composed of microtubule subunits. Kinetochores provide the motive power.Read more: What_structure_is_responsible_for_moving_the_chromosomes_during
