Centrioles

The two Poles of a cell that migrate during cell division are the centrosomes, which are the microtubule organizing centers located at opposite ends of the cell. These centrosomes help to organize and separate the chromosomes during cell division, ensuring each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.
During telophase, centrioles move to opposite ends of the cell to form the poles of the mitotic spindle. This is essential for establishing the organization of the spindle apparatus, which helps to divide the genetic material equally between the two daughter cells during cell division.
During this phase of mitosis, known as prophase, the centrioles move to opposite poles of the cell. As the centrioles migrate, they begin to form the mitotic spindle, the structure that will help separate the chromosomes during cell division.
Centrioles move to opposite poles during cell division by forming spindle fibers that attach to the centromeres of chromosomes and pull the centrioles apart. This process helps to ensure that each new cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
The cables made of microtubules that extend from the poles of a cell to the centromeres during cell division are called spindle fibers or mitotic spindles. They help in the separation of chromosomes during mitosis or meiosis by attaching to the centromeres.
The spindle is formed during cell division, specifically during the metaphase stage of mitosis or meiosis. It is made up of microtubules and associated proteins, organized by the centrosomes at opposite poles of the cell. These microtubules help to separate chromosomes during cell division.
