  • Kinetochores: The Essential Link Between Chromosomes and Spindle Fibers
    The structures that attach chromosomes to spindle fibers are called kinetochores.

    Here's why:

    * Kinetochores are protein complexes that form on the centromere of each chromosome during cell division.

    * They act as the point of attachment for spindle fibers, which are microtubules that pull chromosomes apart during mitosis and meiosis.

    * Kinetochores ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.

    So, the answer is kinetochores.
