Question

Spindle fibres attach on to the

• A. cell membrane of the cell
• B. telomere of the chromosome
• C. ribosomes of the cell
• D. kinetochore of the chromosome

Answer 1

The correct option is D kinetochore of the chromosome

Spindle fibres are proteinaceous fibres that help in the cell division. They are responsible for the segregation of sister chromatids and movement of chromosomes during mitotic and meiotic divisions. Spindle fibres attach themselves to the kinetochore of the chromosomes and help to pull sister chromatids towards opposite poles. Kinetochores are proteinaceous disc-like structures present on the sides of the centromere.
