Do plant cells have a spindle?

No. Almost all plant and animal cells are Eukaryotic, and there are a wide variety of shapes, from the long and slender sperm to a rigid cuboid epithelial cell.


What is a cytoskeletal that pulls chromosomes apart?

CentriolesCentrioles are log-like structures that appear during cell division in animal cells and pull the chromosomes apart.


Produce spindle fibers?

Centrioles. They are visible during metaphase, the second stage of mitosis. Added: Centrosomes. Centrioles are present in animal cells but are, seemingly, not needed to mount a spindle apparatus. Plant cells get along very well without centrioles.


Do plants and animals have Golgi apparatus?

Yes, Golgi complex (or Golgi apparatus) are found in both plant and animal cells


How and where is a spindle formed?

Prophase IIThe spindle is formed under the direction of the microtubule organizing center (MTOC).In an animal cell, the MTOC is the centrosome, which contains two centrioles. In plant cells, it seems that the MTOC is the nuclear envelope. There is no centrosome or centriole in the cells of a plant.The spindle develops in the cytoplasm of a cell in prophase of either mitosis or meiosis. It is a barrel-shaped structure, made up of many spindle fibers, which are microtubules of the cytoskeleton. The two ends of the spindle taper towards points that are called the poles of the spindle, and these two points in the cytoplasm of the mother-cell will be the sites of formation of the daughter-nuclei in telophase.

What structure that aids in cell division is present in animal cells but not in plant cells?

Plants cells do not have centrioles. These form the mitotic apparatus during prophase in mitosis, Which include aster and spindle fibre formation, as without spindle fibres, there would be no chromosomes held and no cell division would occur .


A structure called the mitotic can be seen between the centrioles of animal cells when cells are reproducing?

mitotic spindle

What internal cell structure is found in animal cells only?

Centrioles are only found in animal cells. During reproduction, they create spindle fibers.


Do animal cell have Golgi apparatus?

yes animal have the golgi apparatus


What structures are spindle fivers attached to that help pull the paired chromosomes apart?

What is found in only animal cells and helps with cell division by pulling apart chromosomes?

The organelles in question are the centrioles. During cell division, the centrioles move to oppose poles of the cell and synthesise the microtubules that make up the spindle apparatus, which separates the sister chromatids during the stage of anaphase.
