Microtubles
Centrioles are important for spindle formation in animal cells, as they help to organize the microtubules that make up the spindle apparatus. However, some cells, such as plant cells, can form functional spindles without centrioles.
Spindle formation occurs in the centrosome, a cellular organelle that serves as the main microtubule-organizing center in animal cells. The centrosome helps to assemble and organize the microtubules that make up the spindle apparatus during cell division.
Telophase
The spindle apparatus attaches to the centromere region of the chromosome. This is where the kinetochore proteins are located, which help in the attachment of spindle microtubules to the chromosome during cell division.
A DNA spindle, or spindle apparatus, forms during the prophase stage of mitosis and meiosis. Specifically, in prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the spindle fibers begin to extend from the centrosomes to form the spindle apparatus, which is crucial for the separation of sister chromatids during cell division.

Telophase
The centrosome, specifically the pair of centrioles within it, provides the material for spindle formation in animal cells. The centrioles duplicate during the cell cycle and serve as the organizing centers for microtubules that make up the spindle apparatus.
During the metaphase stage of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle apparatus.

Centrioles. They are only found in animal cells and produce the spindle fibers during cell division (namely, Metaphase). One set is located at each pole of the cell.
