The name for the network of microtubules along which the chromosomes move during cell division is called the spindle fibers. These spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes and pull them in half.
The mitotic spindle fibers formed of tubulin subunits.
The mitotic spindle is the network of microtubules that pulls chromatids to opposite ends of the cell during mitosis.

The region of a chromosome holding the two double strands of replicated DNA together is called a centromere. The complex of DNA and protein that makes up eukaryotic chromosome is properly called chromatin.
the centromere keeps the two sister chromatids together. its also where the chromosome attaches to the spindle apparatus during mitosis and meiosis.
During mitosis a double-stranded chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber centromere.
centromere is place at which spindle fibers are attached if the centromere is lost then chromosome will lose its point for the attachement of the spindle fiber and then will not be able to take part in mitosis. chromosome is usually lost in this case.
The centromere is the most condensed and constricted region of a chromosome, to which the spindle fiber is attached during mitosis.
a microscopically small tuble, it is the introcellular support of the cytoskeleton and also helps in transport of certain protein molecules.

Centromere splitting is something that happens to the Chromosomes during the M Phase (Mitosis) of cell division. During Anaphase (a phase in the M Phase), the centrioles that have sent out spindle fibers and are at opposite poles just tug at the centromere of the Chromosome, causing the centromere to split. Anaphase is basically centromere splitting, where the spindle fibers from the centrioles split the chromosome in half at the centromere.
A chromosome is determined to be metacentric, acrocentric or telocentric by the location of its centromere. Centromeres are the point of attachment of two sister chromatids. Sister chromatids are formed during DNA replication prior to mitosis or meiosis. Chromosome Y by itself (when it is not replicating and there are no sister chromatids) is not acrocentric, as it wouldn't even have a centromere location.
The centromere is the most condensed and constricted region of a chromosome, to which the spindle fiber is attached during mitosis.
