What is the main function of the spindle fibers during mitosis?

  1. To repair damaged DNA
  2. To regulate cell growth
  3. To separate the chromosomes
  4. To synthesize new DNA

Answer

(3) To separate the chromosomes

Solution

Spindle fibres attach to the kinetochores of chromosomes at metaphase; at anaphase they shorten and pull the sister chromatids (daughter chromosomes) towards opposite poles.

Thus their main function is to separate the chromosomes.

Answer: (3)
