Spindle fibres attach on to:
Options
- ATelomere of the chromosome
- BKinetochore of the chromosome
- CCentrosome
- DNOR of the chromosome
Correct answer
B. Kinetochore of the chromosome
Step-by-step solution
Kinetochore of chromosomes facilitates the attachment of spindle fibre (chromosomal fibre) and the poles. A chromosome consists of two identical halves, the chromatids which are held together at on point called the centromere. On the sides of the centromere, disc-shaped structure are present known as kinetochores.
