Routing Protocol Definition. A routing protocol is a set of rules used by routers to determine the most appropriate paths into which they should forward packets towards their intended destinations.
Spindle fibers are protein structures that form early in mitosis, or cell division. They consist of microtubules that originate from the centrioles, two wheel-shaped bodies located in the centromere area of the cell. The centromere is also known as the microtubule organizing center.
Spindle fibers are a part of the spindle apparatus, which moves chromosomes during mitosis and meiosis to ensure each daughter cell gets the correct number of chromosomes. The spindle apparatus consists of spindle fibers, motor proteins, chromosomes, and in some cells, structures called asters. In animal cells, spindle fibers are produced from cylindrical microtubules called centrioles. Centrioles form asters and asters generate spindle fibers during the cell cycle. Centrioles are located in a region of the cell known as the centrosome. Spindle Fibers and Chromosome Movement
