The cell cycle process whereby spindle microtubules become physically associated with the proteins making up the kinetochore complex contributing to meiotic chromosome segregation. The cell cycle process whereby spindle microtubules become physically associated with the proteins making up the kinetochore complex during mitosis. During mitosis, the kinetochores of sister chromosomes are situated facing opposite spindle poles and bipolar attachment of the sister chromosomes to the spindle occurs. The process by which genetic material, in the form of chromosomes, is organized into specific structures and then physically separated and apportioned to two or more sets. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the attachment of spindle microtubules to the kinetochore. Any process by which a microtubule is maintained in a specific location in a cell. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the attachment of spindle microtubules to the kinetochore. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the attachment of spindle microtubules to the kinetochore. The process by which spindle microtubules become physically associated with a chromosome. The process by which spindle microtubules become physically associated with the proteins making up the kinetochore complex.
