Question

what is a mitotic spindle

Answer 1

We know that if we're going to accurately segregate or separate the chromosomes during mitosis, we're going to need to condense the chromosomes because a small, compact object is going to be easier to move than a long, stringy, floppy one. Now, we need a way to move those objects around in the cell. Alignment of the chromosomes is an important step in mitosis, and it's accomplished by microtubules, which are rope-like components of the cytoskeleton.

Now, microtubules organize into what is known as the mitotic spindle. Before we can understand how the mitotic spindle works, we need to know a little bit more about the components that make it up.

...........
The mitotic spindle is the macromolecular machine that segregates chromosomes to two daughter cells during mitosis. The major structural elements of thespindle are microtubule polymers, whose intrinsic polarity and dynamic properties are critical for bipolar spindle organization and function.
