Spindles are usually crafted out of wood, and resemble a wagon wheel suspended upon an easel. There is always a pointed piece as well. A quick search on Google images should straighten that out.
there are different types of spindles than you see on google images some are used for starting fires

What is the function of spindle fibers in anaphase?
nothing
What structure forms in prophase along which the chromosomes called?
The answer is Spindle Fibers.
What is the name of log-like structures that appear during cell division in animal cells and pull the chromosomes apart?
In meiosis or mitosis they are called spindle fibers which are "anchored" using centrioles.
Cell structures made of individual microtube fibers that are involved in moving chromosomes during cell division are called?
spindle fibers
What is the role of the spindle fibers?
Spindle-shaped muscle fibers are skeletal muscles that produce external mobility to the body.
What is the function of spindle fibers in anaphase?
nothing
What phase do spindle fibers appear next to nucleus?
Prophase
What is spindle fibers begin to form?
Spindle fibers are composed of a protein called myosin and originate from a cell organelle called the centriole
What is the relationship between centrosomes and spindle fibers?
Spindle Fibers are formed between centrosomes. Centrosomes migrate to opposite ends of the cell during cell division. The spindle fibers function is to anchor the centrosomes and chromosomes into the poles. The chromosomes then reel them selves in using the spindle fiber.
Centrosomes containing centrioles and spindle fibers appear next to nucleus?
Yes
What structure forms in prophase along which the chromosomes called?
The answer is Spindle Fibers.
are Genes are located at specific positions on spindles?
spindle
What happends to the spindle fibers in telophase?
Spindle fibers disassemble.
What forms spindle fibers?
I believe that they are formed by the Centrioles in the cell. These centrioles are found inside (encased) in the centrosomes. They combine microtubles and associated proteins (such as Aurora A) to strengthen the spindle fibers.
Which type of cell has spindle fibers?
Animal cells have spindle fibers in them.
What are spindle fibers composed of?
spindle fibers are composed of what? Answer: Microtubules
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.
