At which place are the chromosome attached to the spindle fibres?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Context**: The question asks where chromosomes attach to spindle fibers during cell division. This occurs during a specific phase of the cell cycle. 2. **Identifying the Phase**: The attachment of chromosomes to spindle fibers happens during the metaphase of cell division. During metaphase, chromosomes are aligned at the equatorial plane of the cell. 3. **Structure of Chromosomes**: Each chromosome consists of two identical halves called chromatids, which are joined together at a region known as the centromere. ...

Assertion :- Each chromatid is attached with two spindle fibres during S-phase :- Reason :- During Anaphse-I each chromosome is found in bivalent form.

Assertion :- Kinetochore is essential for cell division. Reason :- Kinetochores serve as the sites of attachment of spindle fibres to the chromosome.

A : Each chromosome of bivalent attaches with two spindles in metaphase. Reason : in metaphase bivalents migrate towards metaphasic plate
