Spindle fibers become attached to the chromosomes during prophase in the early stages of cell division.
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.
During metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.
During the metaphase stage of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle apparatus.
Chromosomes are attached to spindle fibers during the metaphase phase of the cell division process.
Spindle fibers first become visible during prophase of mitosis, when the chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down. The spindle fibers are key structures involved in aligning and separating the chromosomes during cell division.

Spindle fibers
Chromosomes are attached to spindle fibers during the metaphase phase of the cell division process.
Spindle fibers first become visible during prophase of mitosis, when the chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope breaks down. The spindle fibers are key structures involved in aligning and separating the chromosomes during cell division.
During prophase, each pair of chromosomes is attached to each other by structures called homologous chromosomes. These homologous chromosomes have similar genes but could have different alleles.
The chromosomes coil and become short and visible. (In animal cells) The centrioles migrate to opposite poles of the cell (the poles are themselves determined by the final position of the chromosomes.) At the end of prophase, the nucleolus and the nuclear envelope disappear.
The chromosomes form during the prophase of mitosis. In prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes as the nuclear envelope breaks down, allowing the chromosomes to be organized and prepared for segregation into daughter cells.
The stage when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes is during metaphase of mitosis or meiosis. Spindle fibers, which are made of microtubules, attach to the centromere region of chromosomes to help separate them correctly during cell division.
The phase of mitosis where the nuclear envelope and nucleus disappear is called prophase. During prophase, the chromatin condenses into discrete chromosomes, and the spindle apparatus begins to form, facilitating the movement of chromosomes during cell division.
The stage of mitosis where chromosomes shorten and thicken and the nuclear membrane begins to disappear is prophase. During prophase, the chromatin condenses into distinct chromosomes and the nuclear envelope breaks down, allowing the chromosomes to interact with the spindle fibers.
