Question

Give the specific function of the following structure found in the cells.

Spindle fibres

Answer 1

1. Spindle fibres help divide the cell’s genetic material during cell division.
2. Spindle fibres are formed during both mitosis and meiosis.
3. Spindle fibres attach to the kinetochores and the arms of chromosomes and help segregate and move chromatids.
4. During metaphase, chromosomes get aligned in the middle with the help of the spindle and then move to the opposite poles during the anaphase stage.
