In metaphise, the spindle fibrez attach themselves to the centrumeres, or the constricted region of a chromosome where the two chromathds are attached, of the chromosomes and align the the chromosomes at the equatorial plate. I just guess

chromosomes are aligned along the centre of the cell during metaphase. this is then followed by anaphase where the chromosomes tear apart

During what phase do the chromosomes move to the center of the cell aligned on the spindle apparatus?

This happens during metaphase. I remember this phase because it is the move phaseof mitosis. The m from move matches the m from metaphase.In mitosis, it happens during metaphase.In meiosis, it happens twice and occurs in metaphase 1 and metaphase 2.

No, metaphase is the fourth phase of mitosis.


Do meisosis and mitosis have metaphase?

Mitosis for sure has metaphase. Scientists are guessing that meiosis has it too, but they combine it and make it "prometaphase," because prophase and metaphase happens so fast in meiosis.


During which phase of mitosis do the sister chromatids line up in the center of the cell?

Chromosomes are composed of two chromatids during the prophase and metaphase of mitosis. The chromosomes of formed in prophase and line up in metaphase.


When during mitosis are karyotypes made?

Cells in metaphase are used to produce karyotypes.

What happens durring mitosis?

Mitosis is the division of the chromosomes in the nuclei. There are 5 stages in mitosis. Interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.


What are the names of the four phases of mitosis?

What is the activity of chromosomes in metaphase 1 of meiosis?

In Mitosis during Metaphase, the chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate, but without their homologues. In Meiosis during Metaphase I, the tetrads line up on the metaphase plate. Then it's back to double-stranded chromosomes lining up in Metaphase II. I
