A structure resembling a spinning-machine spindle that is formed from fine fibers of protein in the cytoplasm of cells at the beginning of metaphase of cell division. Chromosomes are attached to the spindle fibbers by their centromeres at the equator. The equator is the widest part of the spindle. <\/p>\n
