What is the stage of mitosis when spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of sister chromatids?
The stage of mitosis when spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of sister chromatids is called metaphase.
What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?
They pull the sister chromatids apart.
In mitosis what pulls the sister chromatids apart?
During mitosis, the mitotic spindle, which is made of microtubules, pulls the sister chromatids apart. The microtubules attach to the kinetochores located on the centromere of each sister chromatid and exert force to move them towards opposite poles of the cell.
What is the role of spindle fibers in mitosis?
They pull the sister chromatids apart.
During what phase do the centromeres of sister chromatids disjoin and the chromatids separate?
During the anaphase stage of mitosis, the centromeres of sister chromatids disjoin and the chromatids are pulled apart to opposite ends of the cell by the spindle fibers.
What is the stage of mitosis when spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of sister chromatids?
The stage of mitosis when spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of sister chromatids is called metaphase.
Chromosomes attached to the spindle fibers by undivided structures is called what?
Name of the Undivided Structures"The centromeres enable chromosomes to attach to spindle fibers." Not exactly. The centromeres are areas of DNA where the two sister chromatids touch. The spindle fibers actually bind to the kinetochore, a structure found on the chromosomes.
What structure are spindles attached to that help pull the paired chromosomes apart?
Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres on the sister chromatids.
What is role of spindle fibers in mitosis?
They pull the sister chromatids apart.
The separation of the sister chromatids marks the beginning of what structure?
The separation of sister chromatids marks the beginning of anaphase in mitosis or meiosis. During anaphase, the sister chromatids are pulled apart towards opposite poles of the cell by the spindle fibers.
What is the role of the spindle fibers during mitosis?
They pull the sister chromatids apart.
In mitosis what pulls the sister chromatids apart?
During mitosis, the mitotic spindle, which is made of microtubules, pulls the sister chromatids apart. The microtubules attach to the kinetochores located on the centromere of each sister chromatid and exert force to move them towards opposite poles of the cell.
Are spindle fibers used in mitosis?
Yes. They are used to separate the sister chromatids apart.
What joins arms together and is the place where spindle fibers attach to each chromosome?
The sister chromatids (arms) are held together by centromeres. Centromeres are the site of attachment for the spindle fibers.
How are chromatids separated?
Chromatids are separated during cell division by a structure called the mitotic spindle, which attaches to the centromere of each sister chromatid. The spindle fibers then pull the sister chromatids apart towards opposite poles of the cell, ensuring that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.
What is the structure called that holds two chromatids together?
The structure that holds two chromatids together is called a centromere. It is a region of the chromosome where the two sister chromatids are attached and where the microtubules of the spindle fibers attach during cell division.
What phase of meiosis do spindle fibers move the sister chromatids to the center of the cells?
prophase 1
