Types of kinetochore–microtubule attachments. (A) Bioriented (amphitelic) attachments occur when sister kinetochores bind to microtubules from opposite poles. (B) Syntelic attachments occur when both sister kinetochores attach to microtubules from the same pole. (C) Monotelic attachments occur when a single sister kinetochore binds to a microtubule from one pole.
