Which structure is responsible for moving chromosomes during meiosis?

1 answer

The structure responsible for moving chromosomes during meiosis is the spindle apparatus. The spindle fibers, which are formed from microtubules, attach to the chromosomes at their centromeres via structures called kinetochores. The spindle apparatus then orchestrates the separation and movement of homologous chromosomes during meiosis I and sister chromatids during meiosis II to ensure proper distribution to the daughter cells.
