What structure forms in prophase along which the chromosomes called?
The answer is Spindle Fibers.
What would happen if the spindle fibers did not form in a cell that is undergoing mitosis?
If spindle fibers failed to form in a cell during division, both daughter cells would become non-viable shortly after division. The spindle fibers pull one set of chromosomes into each of the daughter cells, so without them there cannot be an equal division of genetic material.
Cell structures made of individual microtube fibers that are involved in moving chromosomes during cell division are called?
spindle fibers
What happens to chromosomes after mitosis?
Cells are moved forward through the chromosomes and attached into the spindle fibers. The nuclei of the cell dissolves to make room for the spindle fibers.
Chromosomes attached to the spindle fibers by undivided structures is called what?
Name of the Undivided Structures"The centromeres enable chromosomes to attach to spindle fibers." Not exactly. The centromeres are areas of DNA where the two sister chromatids touch. The spindle fibers actually bind to the kinetochore, a structure found on the chromosomes.
Fibers in the spindle that attach to the centromere of the chromosomes?

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 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.
Chromosomes move along these fibers?
Spindle fibers
Spindle fibers disappear new nucleus forms at each end of the cell?
Yes, something like that. In mitosis, there are 4 stages; Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase (also remembered as P.M.A.T). In prophase the centrioles start separate and form the spindle fibers and the chromosomes start to separate. In metaphase the chromosomes line up at the equator in the spindle fibers. Anaphase, the spindle fibre pulls half of the chromosomes to each pole, now resulting in 2 sets of identical daughter chromosomes. In telophase the spindle fibers start to disintegrate and a nuclear membrane forms between the two identical daughter chromosomes. In cytokinesis, the cytoplasm starts to separate producing two identical daughter cells. All in all, the spindle fibers do disappear and TWO (2) new identical daughter cells are formed. I hope this helps
What is the function of the spindle fibers?
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.
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.

What is the function of the spindle?
Spindle 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.
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 attaches chromosomes together?
SPINDLE FIBERS!!
