Question:

Spindle fibres attach on to Kinetosome of the chromosome, Telomere of the chromosome, Kinetochore of the chromosome, Centromere of the chromosome

Kinetochore of the chromosome

Kinetosome of the chromosome

Telomere of the chromosome

Centromere of the chromosome

Solution:

In prophase of mitosis, specialized regions on centromeres called kinetochores attach chromosomes to spindle fibers. The centromere is the part of a chromosome that links sister chromatids. During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore. Kinetochores generate kinetochore fibers, which attach sister chromatids to spindle fibers. Kinetochore fibers and spindle polar fibers work together to manipulate and separate chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis.
