Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Understand the role of spindle fibers in mitosis: Spindle fibers are structures that help separate the chromosomes during cell division.
Identify the phases of mitosis: Mitosis consists of several phases, including prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
Focus on the function of each phase: In prophase, chromosomes condense and become visible. In metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane. In anaphase, sister chromatids are pulled apart. In telophase, the cell prepares to divide.
Determine when spindle fibers attach to chromosomes: Spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of chromosomes during metaphase, aligning them at the cell's equator.
Conclude that the correct phase for spindle fiber attachment is metaphase, as this is when chromosomes are prepared for separation.
