During mitosis, microtubules known as spindle fibers attach to chromosomes at structures called kinetochores. These spindle fibers help separate the duplicated chromosomes into two identical sets during cell division.
Spindle fibers are the ones that form and attach to centrosomes. They are also known as mitotic spindles and they are formed by centrioles.

When during mitosis do chromosomes attach to spindle fibers?
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.
Do chromosomes undergo crossover during mitosis?
No, chromosomes do not undergo crossover during mitosis. Crossover, also known as genetic recombination, occurs during meiosis, not mitosis.
How do chromosomes align differently in meiosis compared to mitosis?
In meiosis, chromosomes align in pairs during metaphase I, while in mitosis, chromosomes align individually during metaphase.
During this stage of mitosis, when do the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers?
During metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.
During which step in mitosis do the chromosomes get attached to the spindle apparatus?
During the metaphase stage of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle apparatus.
When during mitosis do chromosomes attach to spindle fibers?
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.
What guide chromosomes during mitosis?
what guides the chromosomes movement during mitosis
When during mitosis do chromosomes along the equator?
Mitosis
Chromosomes form during what?
Chromosomes form during cell division, specifically during the process of mitosis. During mitosis, the chromosomes condense and line up before being separated into two daughter cells.
Do chromosomes undergo crossover during mitosis?
No, chromosomes do not undergo crossover during mitosis. Crossover, also known as genetic recombination, occurs during meiosis, not mitosis.
What type of chromosomes separate during mitoses?
Both autosomes and sex chromosomes separate during mitosis./ Somatic chromosomes separate during mitosis with same number as in the parent cell.
What type of chromosome is produced during mitosis?
All chromosomes are reproduced during mitosis.
During which phase of mitosis are chromosomes attaching to the spindle?
Chromosomes attach to the mitotic spindle during the metaphase of mitosis. Part of the answer depends on how you define the stages of mitosis and not everybody does this the same way. The short answer is all of them.
How do chromosomes align differently in meiosis compared to mitosis?
In meiosis, chromosomes align in pairs during metaphase I, while in mitosis, chromosomes align individually during metaphase.
During this stage of mitosis, when do the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers?
During metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.
During which step in mitosis do the chromosomes get attached to the spindle apparatus?
During the metaphase stage of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle apparatus.
What does chromatin turn into during mitosis?
Chromosomes
