spindelapparaat
A spindelapparaat, often translated as spindle apparatus, is a crucial component in cell division, specifically during mitosis and meiosis. It is a complex structure composed primarily of microtubules, which are protein filaments that form part of the cell's cytoskeleton. The primary function of the spindelapparaat is to ensure the accurate segregation of chromosomes to daughter cells.
The formation of the spindelapparaat begins with the duplication of centrosomes (in animal cells) or their
During the metaphase stage of cell division, the spindelapparaat aligns all the chromosomes along the cell's
