Chromosomes are lined up at the middle of the cell during the phase of cell division called
A) metaphase.
B) anaphase.
C) telophase.
D) interphase.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During metaphase, chromosomes align at the equator of the cell, also known as the metaphase plate. This alignment is essential for proper chromosome separation during anaphase. In contrast, during anaphase, the chromosomes are pulled apart towards opposite poles of the cell, and during telophase, the cell completes the separation of the two sets of chromosomes into two distinct nuclei. Interphase is not a phase of cell division, but rather the period of the cell cycle between two successive cell divisions.
