The sister chromatids (arms) are held together by centromeres. Centromeres are the site of attachment for the spindle fibers.

What joins chromosomes arms together and is the place where spindle fibers attach to each chromosome?
centromere joins chromosomes arms , the cromatids , together and is the place where spindle fibers attach to each chromosomes
Why is the structure responsible for the movement of chromosome during anophase?
The Centrosome. It forms Centrioles which form spindle fibers. Some of the spindle fibers attach to the Kinetochore located on the Centromere of chromosomes. The spindle fibers work in conjunction with motor proteins to facilitate disjunction.
What phase is when each chromosome is connected to a spindle fiber?
During metaphase each chromosome attaches to spindle fibers. The centriole anchors the spindle fibers and helps in splitting the chromosome.
What are protein strands that attach to the centromere?
Spindle fibers.
What is the name of the organelles from the asters and the spindle fibers?
The spindle fibres are in the nucleus and they are envolved in mitosis.
What joins chromosomes arms together and is the place where spindle fibers attach to each chromosome?
centromere joins chromosomes arms , the cromatids , together and is the place where spindle fibers attach to each chromosomes
When during mitosis do chromosomes attach to spindle fibers?
During mitosis a double-stranded chromosome attaches to a spindle fiber centromere.
During metaphase the centrometers attach to what structures?
In animal cells, during metaphase stage of the cell cycle, the centrioles attach to spindle fibers. These spindle fibers are also attached to the chromosomes which are now aligned at the metaphase plate.
What forms during prophase to later attach and move chromosome?
Spindle fibers
What function do spindle fibers perform during cell division?
Spindle fibres attach to the centrimeres(the middle part of the chromosome which holds it together) of the chromosomes, then contract to pull them apart.
Fibers in the spindle that attach to the centromere of the chromosomes?
Fibers in the spindle that attach to the centromere of the chromosomes are called what?
What phase are chromosomes visible and attach to spindle fibers?
Visible in prophase and attach to spindle fibers in meta phase
When is every chromosome connected to a spindle fiber in mitosis?
Just after the nuclear membrane dissolves and once the chromosomes have cloned themselves to form two chromatids connected by a centomere. The spindle fibers then attach to each chromosome.
What is an area where the chromosome are attached?
The chromosomes are attached at their centromeres, which in turn attach to spindle fibers when being pulled apart during mitosis.
The phase of mitosis in which microtubules connect the centromere of each chromosome to the poles of the pindle?
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.
Why is the structure responsible for the movement of chromosome during anophase?
The Centrosome. It forms Centrioles which form spindle fibers. Some of the spindle fibers attach to the Kinetochore located on the Centromere of chromosomes. The spindle fibers work in conjunction with motor proteins to facilitate disjunction.
To which part of the centromere do mitotic spindle fibers attach during prometaphase?
The centromeres of chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers during metaphase. The spindle fibers bring about the separation of sister chromosomes to the opposite poles. When spindle fibers do not attach to the centromeres, the doubling of chromosomes leads to polyploidy in the cell.
