The kinetochore is the region of the chromosome that serves as the attachment site for microtubules during cell division. It is a protein structure that forms on the centromere of a chromatid. Kinetochore microtubules connect the chromatids to the mitotic spindle to aid in the separation of chromosomes during mitosis.
a microscopically small tuble, it is the introcellular support of the cytoskeleton and also helps in transport of certain protein molecules.
Microtubules attach to kinetochores during prometaphase of mitosis, forming the mitotic spindle apparatus. This attachment is crucial for proper chromosome alignment and segregation during cell division.
Metaphase
Mitosis require microtubules because they bind to the chromosomes and pull them to each pole of the cell. The cell can then divide with the respective chromosomes on separate halves of the cell.
The kinetochore is the region of the chromosome that serves as the attachment site for microtubules during cell division. It is a protein structure that forms on the centromere of a chromatid. Kinetochore microtubules connect the chromatids to the mitotic spindle to aid in the separation of chromosomes during mitosis.
The name for the network of microtubules along which the chromosomes move during cell division is called the spindle fibers. These spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes and pull them in half.
a microscopically small tuble, it is the introcellular support of the cytoskeleton and also helps in transport of certain protein molecules.
The spindle apparatus, made up of microtubules, plays a key role in chromosome separation and movement during mitosis. The centrosomes help organize and control the spindle apparatus. The kinetochores, located at the centromere of each chromosome, attach to the microtubules and facilitate chromosome movement.
Microtubules attach to chromosomes at the kinetochore, a protein structure located at the centromere region of each chromosome. This attachment ensures accurate segregation of chromosomes during mitosis.

Mitosis require microtubules because they bind to the chromosomes and pull them to each pole of the cell. The cell can then divide with the respective chromosomes on separate halves of the cell.
Two chromatids are present in a chromosome at the beginning of mitosis.
The arrangement of microtubules that become visible during mitosis and separate the chromosomes into equal groups is called the mitotic spindle. It forms during prophase and plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate chromosome segregation during cell division.
