spindle fibers, and centromere
During metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.
During the metaphase stage of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle apparatus.
The phase when chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell is called metaphase. During this stage of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers at the centromeres and align along the equatorial plane of the cell.
During metaphase, the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell and become attached to the spindle fibers. This alignment ensures that each daughter cell will receive the correct number of chromosomes during cell division.
The stage of mitosis when the chromatids are visible is the metaphase stage. During metaphase, the duplicated chromosomes line up along the center of the cell, with their chromatids attached to the spindle fibers.
Spindle fibers become attached to the chromosomes during prophase in the early stages of cell division.
Chromosomes are visible during the prophase stage of meiosis, specifically during prophase I. This is when the chromosomes condense and become visible under a microscope.
Chromosomes appear as threadlike bodies during cell division, specifically during the metaphase stage of mitosis or meiosis. This is when the chromosomes condense and become visible under a microscope.
At metaphase, the nucleus has completely degraded and the chromosomes are all ligned up at the centre of the cell. This line up of chromosomes is called the metaphasic plate. During metaphase, the chromosomes are maximally condensed.
metaphase
At the end of metaphase I, the homologous pairs of chromosomes line up along the cell's equator. This alignment allows for the independent assortment of genetic material during anaphase I, where the homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.
The stage where chromosomes shorten by condensing their nucleoprotein is called prophase during mitosis. This is when the chromosomes become visible and appear as distinct structures under a microscope.
