Question

A part of the cytoskeleton of a cell, formed in prophase (in mitosis) or in prophase i (in meiosis), from which extend fibers that organize and separate the sister chromatids is called the ________.

Answer 1

The correct answer is "spindle apparatus" or "mitotic/meiotic spindle" or just "spindle". The spindle is a structure made of microtubules wherein it acts to separate the sister chromatids from the daughter cells, eventually separating chromatids from one pole to the other.
