Metaphase is the third phase of mitosis, when the chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell.
During metaphase.A trick is to remember: "M for metaphase, M for the middle of the cell". This is to remind you that at metaphase the centromeres of the chromosomes are aligned in the plane of the equator.

Metaphase!
Chromosomes align on the spindle equator during the metaphase. During the metaphase the chromosomes meet on an imaginary line between the two poles.
It is during the anaphase of meiosis that the replicated homologous chromosomes line up next to each other at the cell's equator.

In Mitosis and Meiosis, this event is called Metaphase.
Chromosomes are composed of two chromatids during the prophase and metaphase of mitosis. The chromosomes of formed in prophase and line up in metaphase.
The phase in cell division where chromosomes align in the middle of the cell is called metaphase.
The sister chromatids first appear in the S phase of the cell cycle.
