What organelle is responsible for moving the sister chromatids within the cell?

1 answer

The organelle responsible for moving sister chromatids within the cell during cell division is the mitotic spindle. The mitotic spindle is not an organelle in the traditional sense; rather, it is a structure made up of microtubules that forms during mitosis and meiosis. The spindle fibers attach to the kinetochores of the sister chromatids and help segregate them to opposite poles of the cell, ensuring accurate distribution of genetic material to the daughter cells.
