Yes, this is due the counterbalance of pulling powers exerted by the opposing kinetochore microtubules.

Michael Anthony Mannen

Microtubules are responsbile for moving Chromosomes to the metaphase plate. During Prometaphase, microtubules grow into a region around the Chromosomes until they find a Kinetochore.

A Microtubule from each spindle pole connects to the kinetochore of each Chromosome.

These type of microtubules are called "Chromosomal Microtubules."
