The correct Answer is:
To answer the question "During cell division, chromosome attaches with spindles at:", we need to analyze the options provided and understand the process of cell division, particularly during the metaphase stage. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Cell Division**: - Cell division occurs in two main phases: mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis is further divided into several stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. 2. **Identifying the Relevant Stage**: - The question specifically refers to the attachment of chromosomes to spindle fibers, which primarily occurs during the metaphase stage of mitosis. 3. **Analyzing the Options**: - The options given are: - A) Kinetochore - B) Centromere - C) Centriole - D) Secondary constriction 4. **Defining Each Term**: - **Kinetochore**: A protein structure on the chromosome where spindle fibers attach during cell division. - **Centromere**: The region of a chromosome where the two sister chromatids are joined. The kinetochore forms at the centromere. - **Centriole**: A cylindrical structure involved in the formation of spindle fibers but does not directly attach to chromosomes. - **Secondary constriction**: A region on some chromosomes that may not be directly involved in spindle attachment. 5. **Correct Answer**: - The correct answer is **Kinetochore**. This is where the spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes during metaphase. 6. **Conclusion**: - Therefore, during cell division, chromosomes attach to spindles at the kinetochore.
