Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The mitotic spindle forms during prophase. It is made up of microtubules that attach to the chromosomes and help them to align along the equator of the cell during metaphase. During anaphase, the microtubules pull the chromosomes apart and toward opposite poles of the cell, while in telophase, the spindle breaks down and the nuclear envelope re-forms around the separated chromosomes.
