Spindle fibers form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell. The spindle is necessary to equally divide the chromosomes in a parental cell into two daughter cells during ...

Same as in mitosis, except that the spindle fibers from each centriole attach to one chromosome of a matching chromosome pair. In other words, the fibers from one centriole attach to 23 ...

The five phases of mitosis and cell division tightly coordinate the movements of hundreds of proteins. How did early biologists unravel this complex dance of chromosomes? The most obvious ...

The spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes. The centrioles are now at opposite ends of the cell. As in mitosis prometaphase, fibers from both ends of the cells attach to each one of the four ...
