What is the name for the fibers that become visible during metaphase?

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.

When do spindle fibers first become visible?
Metaphase
Fibers of blood only become visible during?
clotting
What stage when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes?
Metaphase is the stage when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes. Metaphase is the second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase.
To which part of the centromere do mitotic spindle fibers attach during prometaphase?
The centromeres of chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers during metaphase. The spindle fibers bring about the separation of sister chromosomes to the opposite poles. When spindle fibers do not attach to the centromeres, the doubling of chromosomes leads to polyploidy in 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.
When do spindle fibers become visible?
Metaphase
When do spindle fibers first become visible?
Metaphase
During metaphase the chromosomes become attached to the what fibers by means of their what?
spindle fibers, and centromere
Fibers of blood only become visible during?
clotting
When do the fibers of the blood become visible?
During the clotting process
During metaphase the centrometers attach to what structures?
In animal cells, during metaphase stage of the cell cycle, the centrioles attach to spindle fibers. These spindle fibers are also attached to the chromosomes which are now aligned at the metaphase plate.
What phase is when each chromosome is connected to a spindle fiber?
During metaphase each chromosome attaches to spindle fibers. The centriole anchors the spindle fibers and helps in splitting the chromosome.
What stage when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes?
Metaphase is the stage when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes. Metaphase is the second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase.
What protein strands connecting the centrioles become visible during middle prophase and are almost complete by late prophase?
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).
During metaphase the centromeres attach to what stuctures?
The mitotic spindle.Or you can call them spindle fibers.
To which part of the centromere do mitotic spindle fibers attach during prometaphase?
The centromeres of chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers during metaphase. The spindle fibers bring about the separation of sister chromosomes to the opposite poles. When spindle fibers do not attach to the centromeres, the doubling of chromosomes leads to polyploidy in 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.
