The strands are called chromatids. Druing prophase, the chromosomes coil and shorten and the nuclear memebrane dissolves. Each chromosome is made up of a pair of strands called chromatids, which are connected by a spindle of fibers called a centromere.
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.
The stage of mitosis when the chromatids are visible is the metaphase stage. During metaphase, the duplicated chromosomes line up along the center of the cell, with their chromatids attached to the spindle fibers.
During metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.
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.
Centromeres attach to spindle fibers during both meiosis I and meiosis II. In meiosis I, centromeres attach to spindle fibers during metaphase I, while in meiosis II, they attach during metaphase II. This attachment is crucial for the proper alignment and segregation of chromosomes during cell division.

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.
During metaphase, the centromeres of chromosomes attach to spindle fibers (microtubules) that extend from opposite poles of the cell. This attachment helps properly align the chromosomes along the metaphase plate in the center of the cell before they are separated in anaphase.
The phase where each chromosome is connected to a spindle fiber is called metaphase. During metaphase, the chromosomes align at the metaphase plate at the center of the cell, and each chromosome is attached to spindle fibers emanating from opposite poles of the cell.
Centromeres attach to spindle fibers during both meiosis I and meiosis II. In meiosis I, centromeres attach to spindle fibers during metaphase I, while in meiosis II, they attach during metaphase II. This attachment is crucial for the proper alignment and segregation of chromosomes during cell division.
Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers during metaphase of mitosis. This attachment ensures that the chromosomes are properly aligned at the metaphase plate before they are separated and pulled to opposite poles of the cell during anaphase.
These strands are called spindle fibers. Each replicating chromosome lines up vertically on a spindle fiber during metaphase. During anaphase, the fibers pull the replicating chromosomes apart (leaving one chromosome to go to either end of the cell).
