Detailed explanation-1: -At the beginning of nuclear division, two wheel-shaped protein structures called centrioles position themselves at opposite ends of the cell forming cell poles. Long protein fibers called microtubules extend from the centrioles in all possible directions, forming what is called a spindle.
Detailed explanation-2: -In animal cells, spindle fibres extend from the centrioles. But in plant cells, which lack centrioles, spindle fibres originate from the centrosome region of the cell.
Detailed explanation-3: -And those centrioles are very important for cell division. So when the cell is going to divide, those centrioles go to opposite ends of the nucleus. And when the chromosomes are condensing to undergo mitosis, the centrioles form the areas that mitotic spindle forms from.
