Where does the spindle fiber connect to the chromosome?

Answer:

Long protein fibers called microtubules extend from the centrioles in all possible directions, forming what is called a spindle. Some of the microtubules attach the poles to the chromosomes by connecting to protein complexes called kinetochores.

Answer: Hope This Helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

Each half of the chromosome, the sister chromatids, has a granule located somewhere near the centromere. This is the kinetochore, and is the place where the spindle microtubules attach.
