Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During metaphase of mitosis or meiosis, the replicated chromosomes (consisting of two chromatids) line up along the equator of the cell. This is known as the metaphase plate or metaphase stage. The spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes to help position them correctly. Once properly aligned, the sister chromatids will eventually be pulled apart and moved to opposite ends of the cell during anaphase.
