Step-by-step solution
Spindle fibres are microtubular structures that attach to chromosomes and facilitate their movement towards opposite poles. Kinetochores are small disc-shaped structures present on the surface of the centromere, which serve as the attachment sites for spindle fibres. The centromere is the primary constriction of a chromosome that holds two sister chromatids together. The centrosome is an organelle containing two centrioles that radiates out microtubular aster rays during prophase to form the mitotic apparatus. Answ
