The cellular component that helps pull apart the chromosome in mitosis and meiosis are the spindle fibers. These spindle fibers are made of micro-tubules.

Spindle Fibers
During metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.
prophase
Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers during metaphase of mitosis. This is when the chromosomes align at the cell's equator, forming a metaphase plate. The spindle fibers attach to the centromere region of the chromosomes.
The stage of mitosis when spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of sister chromatids is called metaphase.

the spindle fibers
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 phase of mitosis when chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers is the metaphase. During metaphase, the chromosomes align along the equatorial plane of the cell before being separated and pulled to opposite poles during anaphase.
