Spindle fibers are necessary in mitosis as they help in bringing half the number of chromosomes on each side of the cell, so that when the cell divides, the chromosomes are distributed equally in both the daughter nuclei.
The spindle is formed during the prophase stage of mitosis or meiosis. In prophase, microtubules organize into a structure called the spindle apparatus, which helps separate the chromosomes during cell division.
The structure made of fibers that helps move chromosomes during mitosis is the mitotic spindle. It is composed of microtubules which attach to the chromosomes and assist in organizing and segregating them during cell division. The mitotic spindle plays a crucial role in ensuring that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.

Microtubules attach to chromosomes at the kinetochore, a protein structure located at the centromere region of each chromosome. This attachment ensures accurate segregation of chromosomes during mitosis.
During metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.

The individual protein structure that helps move the chromosomes apart during mitosis is called a microtubule spindle fiber. These fibers form the mitotic spindle, which helps align and separate the chromosomes during cell division.
