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
Chromosomes attached to the spindle fibers by undivided structures is called what?
Name of the Undivided Structures"The centromeres enable chromosomes to attach to spindle fibers." Not exactly. The centromeres are areas of DNA where the two sister chromatids touch. The spindle fibers actually bind to the kinetochore, a structure found on the chromosomes.
What is the name of the fibers that line the chromosomes up at the equator of a cell during mitosis?
Spindle fibers from the centrioles attach to the chromosomes and pull in opposite directions at the metaphesal plate.
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 structure forms in prophase along which the chromosomes called?
The answer is Spindle Fibers.
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 is happening when chromosomes attach to spindle fibers?
That would be during metaphase in mitosis and the chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers because each half of the chromosomes need to migrate to the opposite poles. The spindle fibers are temporary but aid in the movement of the chromosomes.
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.
What phase are chromosomes visible and attach to spindle fibers?
Visible in prophase and attach to spindle fibers in meta phase
What is the phase of mitosis if chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers?
Metaphase is when chromosomes attatch to spindle fibers in the phase of mitosis.
When do spindle fibers attach to chromosomes?
Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes during mitosis. Specifically, they do so in the metaphase portion of mitosis, in preparation for the splitting of the cell.
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
What is main event of metaphase?
chromosomes attach to spindle fibers
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 stage when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes?
Metaphase is the stage when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes. Metaphase is the second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase.
What forms during prophase to Later attach move chromosomes?
Spindle fibers
