spindle
spindle The set of
microtubular fibres that appear to move the
chromosomes of
eukaryotes during cell division. The spindle is formed only at
mitosis or
meiosis, appearing at
metaphase and first arranging the chromosomes at its equator. Movement apart of
chromatids then occurs during
anaphase, probably as a result of contraction of the fibres that run from the
centromere (spindle attachment) to the spindle pole, and from pole to pole.
