Biology Question on cell cycle and cell division
Spindle fibers attach to kinetochores of chromosomes during
A
Prophase
B
Metaphase
C
Anaphase
D
Telophase
Answer
Metaphase
Explanation
Solution
During metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes align at the metaphase plate in the center of the cell. The spindle fibers, which are microtubules, attach to the kinetochores on the centromere of each chromosome. This attachment is crucial for the proper separation of chromatids during anaphase.
