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.
chromosomes line up at the spindle equator during metaphase! chromosomes line up at the spindle equator during metaphase!
equator
The chromosome pairs are lined up in the center of the cell, parts of the cytoskeleton have formed the mitotic spindle and are preparing to pull the pairs apart.
false
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.
Metaphase is the stage when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes. Metaphase is the second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase.
In animal cells, during metaphase stage of the cell cycle, the centrioles attach to spindle fibers. These spindle fibers are also attached to the chromosomes which are now aligned at the metaphase plate.
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.
Chromosomes align on the spindle equator during the metaphase. During the metaphase the chromosomes meet on an imaginary line between the two poles.
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.
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.
True
During mitosis a double-stranded chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber centromere.
The chromosomes attach to a spindle fiber across the equator of the cell.
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.
In metaphase, spindle fibers grow and attach to chromosomes. In anaphase, they pull the chromosomes apart. In telephase, they disappear.
