they are produced by centrosome and they bind to the centromeres of sister chromatids during metaphase pulling each sister chromatid opposite sides so each daughter cell would contain one of them. mitotic division doesnt proceeds before microtubules bind to each centromere
Centrosomes are the main focal points for the growth of the mitotic spindle in eukaryotic cells. They contain pairs of centrioles that organize microtubules during cell division. The microtubules extend and form the spindle apparatus, which helps separate the chromosomes during mitosis.
The phase you are referring to is called prometaphase. During prometaphase, the microtubules attach to the kinetochores at the centromere of each chromosome, allowing them to move and align properly along the metaphase plate in preparation for separation during anaphase.
During prometaphase, the nuclear envelope fragments and the spindle microtubules are able to reach the chromosomes. Each of the two chromatids of each chromosome, at this point, has a kinetochore. The microtubules attach to the kinetochores, forming "kinetochore microtubules" which basically jerk the chromosomes back and forth.
Mitosis and Meiosis
This phase of mitosis is called metaphase. During metaphase, the microtubules from opposite poles of the cell attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes. The microtubules then exert force to align the chromosomes at the center of the cell, forming the metaphase plate.

microtubules or cytoskeleton (as in centrioles)
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.

Spindle fibers are composed of microtubules, which are polymers of the protein tubulin. These microtubules play a crucial role in cell division by helping to separate the chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis.
Nuclear division in eukaryotic cells is called mitosis.
D. assemble materials that will form the new cell wall.
Mitosis and Meiosis
Yes, eukaryotic cells undergo mitosis during the cell cycle in order to replicate and divide. Mitosis is the process by which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
This phase of mitosis is called metaphase. During metaphase, the microtubules from opposite poles of the cell attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes. The microtubules then exert force to align the chromosomes at the center of the cell, forming the metaphase plate.
