Answer: kinetochore
Spindle fibers are aggregates of micro-tubules that move chromosomes during cell division. They attach to the kinetochore, a structure on chromatids, that when it's pulled separated sister chromatids. The kinetochore is a specialized protein complex found in the centromere of the chromosome.
