What forms during prophase and later attach and move chromosomes?
A
Chromatid
B
Nuclei
C
Nucleolus
D
Spindles
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Kinetochore microtubules attach end-on to the kinetochore, which forms at the centromere of each duplicated chromosome. They serve to attach the chromosomes to the spindle.

Detailed explanation-2: -In prophase of mitosis, specialized regions on centromeres called kinetochores attach chromosomes to spindle fibers. The centromere is the part of a chromosome that links sister chromatids. During mitosis, spindle fibers attach to the centromere via the kinetochore.

Detailed explanation-3: -The mitotic spindles formed during prophase are composed of microtubules and have a ropelike structure. The function of the mitotic spindle is to help to equally divide the chromosomes in the parent cell to ensure that equal, identical copies are found in both daughter cells after mitosis is complete.
