they are microtubles, they move the chromosomes to the equasion (metaphase plate) of the cell. they also make up the spindle fibers.

During mitosis and meiosis kinetochore fibers are thought to?
Kinetochore fibers are thought to move chromosomes.
Where do microtubules attach to chromosomes during mitosis?
kinetochore microtubules bind with spindle fibers.
Where would you find the centromere and kinetochore?
In the middle of the chromosomes
Distinguish between kinetochore fibers and polar fibers?
Polar fibers extend across the cell from centriole to centriole. Kinetochore fibers extend from the centromeres of a chromosome to the entrioles.
A structure having two chromatids held together at a centromere?
The structure having two chromatids held together at a centromere is known as the kinetochore. These are commonly found in the DNA.
During mitosis and meiosis kinetochore fibers are thought to?
Kinetochore fibers are thought to move chromosomes.
Two types of fibers in fibrocartilage?
Polar and kinetochore. Polar are what 'push' the poles apart, while kinetochore connect at the kinetochore and the centrosome.
What is the difference between kinetochore and centromere?
kinetochore is the site of attachment of spindlefibres. centromere is the center of attachment of the chromatids
Where do microtubules attach to chromosomes during mitosis?
kinetochore microtubules bind with spindle fibers.
What evidence suggests that during anaphase kinetochore microtubules shorten at the kinetochore?
The evidence has been seen and photographed many times.
What is kinetochore?
A disc of protein on the centromere.
Which letter represents the centromere?
Cetromere is generally represented by the letter K. K stands for kinetochore. Kinetochore is another word for centromere.
What attaches the spindle fiber to the chromatid?
the kinetochore
What is the meaning of the word Kinetochore?
"Kinetochore" refers to a specific part of the centromere. It is a specialized structure that microtubular spindle fibers attach to during mitosis and meiosis.
What is a seventh grade word for kinetochore?
I can only find spindle microtubules for kinetochore. Words and concepts get older as you get older, there just isn't anyway around it.
What is a disk protein at the centromere region of the chromatid that serves as a platform for assembling microtubules?
When a chromosome has replicated and is preparing for division, the two chromatids are connected by the centromere. The centromere is the site where the kinetochore forms. The kinetochore forms the attachment with the spindle fibers.
Chromosomes centromeres are attached to the kinetochore fibers?
Prophase
