Microtubules
During the metaphase stage of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle apparatus.
the spindle
The spindle apparatus is responsible for aligning and segregating chromosomes during cell division. The microtubules of the spindle apparatus attach to the centromere of chromosomes and actively move them to opposite poles of the cell during anaphase of mitosis or meiosis. This ensures that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.
The spindle apparatus, made up of microtubules, and the centrosomes are crucial organelles involved in the separation of chromosomes during cell division. The spindle apparatus helps in organizing and segregating the chromosomes, while the centrosomes play a role in nucleating and anchoring the spindle fibers.

Telophase
The spindle apparatus attaches to the centromere region of the chromosome. This is where the kinetochore proteins are located, which help in the attachment of spindle microtubules to the chromosome during cell division.
the spindle
A DNA spindle, or spindle apparatus, forms during the prophase stage of mitosis and meiosis. Specifically, in prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the spindle fibers begin to extend from the centrosomes to form the spindle apparatus, which is crucial for the separation of sister chromatids during cell division.
