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.
Spindle acts as a scaffolding for chromosomal attachment and movement. Chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers by undivided structures called centromeres.
Chromosomes line up at the equator of the spindle during the metaphase stage of mitosis. This is when the chromosomes are maximally condensed and are attached to the spindle fibers at their centromeres.
Spindle fibers. These structures form the mitotic spindle and play a crucial role in separating chromosomes during cell division.
Centromeres and spindle fibers..Prophase: During cell division small structures called centromeres move to opposite ends of a cell.Prometaphase: These centromere structures produce spindle fibers that attach to the chromosomes' kinetochores (where the sister chromatids are joined together with bundles of proteins). Other spindle fibers attach to each other at the center.Metaphase: Tension is applied to the fibers, this causes the chromosomes to align along the center of the cell.Anaphase: The fibers pull the chromosomes apart and towards the centromeres at each end of the cell.Telophase: chromosomes arrive at ends and spindle fivers disappear.
During cell division, structures like the chromosomes, spindle fibers, and centrioles are more clearly visible. Chromosomes condense and can be seen as distinct entities, spindle fibers form a dynamic network between the centrioles, and the centrioles organize the spindle apparatus.
Spindle acts as a scaffolding for chromosomal attachment and movement. Chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers by undivided structures called centromeres.
During metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.
During the metaphase stage of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle apparatus.
Spindle fibers become attached to the chromosomes during prophase in the early stages of cell division.
Chromosomes are attached to spindle fibers during the metaphase phase of the cell division process.
Chromosomes line up at the equator of the spindle during the metaphase stage of mitosis. This is when the chromosomes are maximally condensed and are attached to the spindle fibers at their centromeres.
Spindle fibers. These structures form the mitotic spindle and play a crucial role in separating chromosomes during cell division.
spindle fibers, and centromere
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.

Spindle fibers attach to chromosomes during metaphase of mitosis. Special protein structures called kinetochores on the chromosomes interact with the spindle fibers to ensure proper alignment and segregation of the chromosomes during cell division.
The chromosomes are attached at their centromeres, which in turn attach to spindle fibers when being pulled apart during mitosis.
