Spindle fibers move chromosomes during cell division by attaching to chromosome arms and centromeres. Kinetochore fibers and spindle polar fibers work together to separate chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. Spindle fibers that don’t contact chromosomes during cell division extend from one cell pole to the other.

Spindle fibers form a protein structure that divides the genetic material in a cell. The spindle is necessary to equally divide the chromosomes in a parental cell into two daughter cells during both types of nuclear division: mitosis and meiosis. During mitosis, the spindle fibers are called the mitotic spindle.

Spindle fiber formation occurs but spindle fibers cannot function properly, i.e. they cannot separate the daughter chromosomes in the division process. Chromosomes clump in several areas of the cell rather than along the single metaphase plate. Mitosis is disrupted and growth increases.

microtubules

centromere

Spindle fibers from one side of the cell attach to one of the sister chromatids. The spindle fibers from the other side of the cell attach to the other sister chromatids of the chromosome. They attach at a point called the kinetochore, which is a disk or protein that is on each side of the centromere.

They are the same thing. As the others have written, microtubules are a “track” that can move organelles around when “motor” proteins (that cleave ATP) pull those organelles. The spindle is what moves the chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis. Spindle fibers are used in cell division, and are made of microtubules.

Answer. Explanation: they are different because spindle fibre arose from the centrioles . Achromatic fibre arose in cytoplasm and are elastic in nature.

Intracellular organization. Microtubules are part of the cytoskeleton, a structural network within the cell’s cytoplasm. The roles of the microtubule cytoskeleton include mechanical support, organization of the cytoplasm, transport, motility and chromosome segregation.

Microtubules are filamentous intracellular structures that are responsible for various kinds of movements in all eukaryotic cells. Microtubules are involved in nucleic and cell division, organization of intracellular structure, and intracellular transport, as well as ciliary and flagellar motility.

Microtubules are conveyer belts inside the cells. They move vesicles, granules, organelles like mitochondria, and chromosomes via special attachment proteins. They also serve a cytoskeletal role. Structurally, they are linear polymers of tubulin which is a globular protein.

Functions of Microtubules

• Giving shape to cells and cellular membranes.
• Cell movement, which includes a contraction in muscle cells and more.
• Transportation of specific organelles within the cell via microtubule “roadways” or “conveyor belts.”

Ribosomes are the cell organelles found inside the cell and composed of RNA and Proteins. They may found suspended in the cytosol, called free ribosomes or bound to the endoplasmic reticulum, called bound ribosomes. They help in protein synthesis.
