Question

In meiosis, each centromere has a spindle fiber attached only to one side. In mitosis, each centromere has a spindle attached to how many sides?

Answer 1

Answer:

In mitosis, each centromere has a spindle attached on both side of centromere

Explanation:

In mitosis, each centromere has a spindle attached on both side of centromere because Spindle fibers move chromosomes during cell division by attaching to chromosome arms and centromeres. A centromere is the specific region of a chromosome where replicates are linked together.

Spindle fibers are active in mitosis and also meiosis and they move throughout the cells and also direct chromosomes to move to where they need to move to.

Spindle fibers function in centromere in mitosis and meiosis by pulling homologous chromosomes apart after they might have been replicated to prepare for division.
