Answer» Correct Answer - B In metaphase, discontinous fibres radiate out from two spindle poles and get connected to the disc shaped structure at the surface of the centroemre called kinetochores. These are called chormose fibres or tractile fibrils. A kinetochore is a complex protein sturcutre that is analogous to a ring for the mictrotubule hook, it is the point where microtubules attach themselves to the chromosome.
