What are the functions of the spindle fibers and the centrioles?
Wiki User
∙ 10y ago
The centrioles are similar to a railing at the two ends of a cell. The spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes (matching pairs) which are lined up in the middle of the cell. This spot is called the equator. The spindle fibers are also attached to the centrioles. The fibers begin to pull the chromosomes apart while holding fast to the centrioles.

∙ 11y agoCells need the spindle fibers and centrioles because -
Centrioles act as the anchor or attachment point to the chromatids and also play a role in how they are positioned.
Spindle fibers are protein structures that divide the genetic material when the cell divides.

Are centrioles and starburst clusters of spindle fibers found in plants?
Yes.
What is part of the cytoskeleton that organizes the spindle fibers at each pole?
Centrioles
What is the structure for spindle fibers?
During the metaphase of cell division, the spindle fibers radiate from the centrioles at the opposite poles of the cell. When the spindle fibers start to pull the chromosomes to opposite poles, this marks the anaphase of cell division.
Centrioles and a starburst cluster of spindle fibers would be found in?
Animal Cells.
The microtubules that form centrioles and spindle fibers are made of hollow tubes of?
protein
What are three organelles in an animal cell and what do they do?
centrioles cytoskeleton spindle fibers centrioles cytoskeleton spindle fibers
What releases the spindle fibers?
Centrioles!
What organelles form the asters and the spindle fibers?
The centrioles in animal cells form the asters and the spindle fibers.
What do centrioles produce?
The centrioles produce microtubules called spindle fibers, which push the centrioles apart as they grow.
In what phase do spindle fibers form from the centrioles?
Spindle fibers are thin tubes that form between the centrioles during mitosis. True..
What cell organelle that helps in division and emits spindle fibers?
Spindle fibers are formed by micro tubules.They are organized by centrioles.
In meiosis what do centrioles do?
Centrioles are two tiny structures that help to organize and arrange the spindle fibers.
What are the thin tubes between the centrioles during mitosis?
Spindle Fibers
What are produced by centrioles and are necessary for cell division to occur?
