Question

Spindle fibres attach to ________ of the chromosome during ________.

• A. centromere, anaphase
• B. kinetochore, metaphase
• C. centromere, metaphase
• D. kinetochore, prophase

Answer 1

The correct option is B kinetochore, metaphase

Spindle fibres arise from the centrioles and help in chromosome movement during cell division.

The two sister chromatids of a chromosome are held together at a region called centromere.

Kinetochore is a disc shaped protein associated with the centromere region of chromosomes.

Spindle fibres attach to the kinetochore of chromosomes during metaphase.
