What is the function of the spindle apparatus?
Microtubules
Where do centrioles function in the cell?
The centriole is located near the nuclear membrane to form spindle fibres during cell division in animal cells.
What is the spindle?
Spindle is a grouping of fibers composed of microtubules. This grouping is very prominent during cell division.
What anchors the spindle during cell division?
The kinetochore anchors chromosomes to microtubules in the spindle during cell division. The centrosome serves as a nucleating center for microtubules in the spindle and anchors them to opposite sides of the cell.
What is the purpose of spindle fibers during mitosis?
Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the center of the cell during metaphase of cell division and break the chromosomes apart during Anaphase.
What is the function of the spindle apparatus?
Microtubules
Where do centrioles function in the cell?
The centriole is located near the nuclear membrane to form spindle fibres during cell division in animal cells.
What is the relationship between centrosomes and spindle fibers?
Spindle Fibers are formed between centrosomes. Centrosomes migrate to opposite ends of the cell during cell division. The spindle fibers function is to anchor the centrosomes and chromosomes into the poles. The chromosomes then reel them selves in using the spindle fiber.

What functions to separate chromatids during cell division?
spindle apparatus
A centriole with radiating fibers active during cell division?
The centrosome. The mitotic spindle. The spindle apparatus.
Cell structures made of individual microtube fibers that are involved in moving chromosomes during cell division are called?
spindle fibers
What is the purpose of spindle fibers during mitosis?
Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the center of the cell during metaphase of cell division and break the chromosomes apart during Anaphase.
During cell division this shortens to pull the chromatids apart.?
spindle fibers
What is the spindle in biology?
A collection of minute fibers composed of microtubules, which are prominent during cell division, asmitotic spindle or mitotic apparatus''.
Which structure organizes the mitotic spindle during cell division?
the ikterpuschles the microtubules organize spindle fibres during mitosis and meiosis
