During which phase of meiosis do spindle fibers move the sister chromitatdes to the center of cells?

That would be anaphase I of meiosis. We know the question is concerning meiosis and not mitosis because it involves homologous chromosomes. Anaphase I begins when the kinetochore fibers stemming from the centrioles "grab" the centromeres of homologous chromosomes and "pull" them towards opposite ends of the cell.
The mechanisms are a little more complicated than "grabbing" and "pulling," but for this question the mechanisms are of little importance.

Why are meiosis and mitosis confused?
Meiosis and mitosis are confused because iof the similarities in both the types of division.The similarities between mitosis and meiosis is that in both types of cell division -the cells divide to form daughter cellsDNA is replicated to form an extra setcentrioles move to the opposite end of the cell and form spindle fibers between themthe cell membrane, nucleolus and nuclear envelope all all break downthe chromosomes line up in the center of the cell and each spindle fiber is attached to the center of the chromosome by their centromerethe spindle fibres bring the chromatids to the opposite end of the cellin the ending phases of mitosis and meiosis the nuclear envelopes each contain half the amount of chromosomeboth the processes are a type of reproduction
Do the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell?
They line up during metaphase of mitosis and meiosis
What stage of meiosis is when chromosomes line up in the center of the cell?
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during meiosis.
During mitosis the spindle fibers are trying to move the chromosomes so they are all lined up at where?
in the center. The next phase is anaphase
During what phase do the chromosomes move to the center of the cell aligned on the spindle apparatus?
This happens during metaphase. I remember this phase because it is the move phaseof mitosis. The m from move matches the m from metaphase.In mitosis, it happens during metaphase.In meiosis, it happens twice and occurs in metaphase 1 and metaphase 2.
What homologous pairs of chromosomes line up in the middle of the spindle during meiosis name the phase one or two?
During Metaphase 1 the homologous pairs of chromosomes line up at the center of the cell. They arrange around the spindle during meiosis.
What phase of meiosis do spindle fiber move sister chromatids to the center of the cells?
prophase 1
What phase of meiosis do spindle fibers move the sister chromatids to the center of the cells?
prophase 1
Which phase of meiosis to spindle fibers move the sister chromatids To the center of the cells?
metaphase II nova net
What is the purpose of spindle fibers during mitosis?
Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the center of the cell during metaphase of cell division and break the chromosomes apart during Anaphase.
Which process separates chromosomes?
In the laboratory, chromosomes can be separated according to length by the electric field of a gel electrophoresis apparatus. The separation of a chromosome into individual units during cell division (mitosis or meiosis) is caused by microtubules which attach the centromere to opposite end of the cell, pulling the two chromatids apart as the cell divides.
The plane at the equator of the cell along which the chromosomes line up during metaphase is called the?
If you are talking the stage in meiosis or mitosis where the chromosome duplicates,and then line up at the center along the cells equater, the answer is Metaphase.

They line up during metaphase of mitosis and meiosis
What happens to chromosomes during Meiosis 2?
the chromosomes pairs line in the center of the cell the chromosomes pairs line in the center of the cell
What anchors the spindle during cell division?
The kinetochore anchors chromosomes to microtubules in the spindle during cell division. The centrosome serves as a nucleating center for microtubules in the spindle and anchors them to opposite sides of the cell.
What stage of meiosis is when chromosomes line up in the center of the cell?
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell during meiosis.
