Single line of chromosomes is formed at the equatorial plate of Metaphase. The chromosomes start moving in the prophase stage by their terminal ends, guided by inner membrane of the nuclear envelop. The chromosomes at metaphase are in thickest form.
Metaphase!
This is the metaphase.
It is during the anaphase of meiosis that the replicated homologous chromosomes line up next to each other at the cell's equator.
Independent orientation of chromosomes refers to the allignment of the homologous chromosomes along the metaphase plate in metaphase I of meiosis. As the pair of chromosomes line up, one inherited from your mother and the other from your father, there are two orientation possibilities of equal probability; each pole has a 50% chance of inheriting one or the other. This is best explained using the sex chromosomes. Males are XY and females are XX. To differentiate these two female X chromsomes, we will call them Xa and Xb. In Metaphase I of meiosis, the chromosomes can be lined up along the metaphase plate (represented as l) as follows: Male: X l Y or Y l X Female: Xa l Xb or Xb l Xa

In the Prophase. Nuclear envelope and nucleolus disappears.
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 1 The chromosomes line up on the equatorial (metaphase) plate. Metaphase 2 Kinetochores of the paired chromatids.
Paired homologous chromosomes are found at the spindle equator during metaphase. During metaphase the chromosomes line up on the plate and attach to the fully formed spindle.

It is during the anaphase of meiosis that the replicated homologous chromosomes line up next to each other at the cell's equator.
Mitosis is the process of cell division which involves 5 different phases. These phases include prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Metaphase is the phase in which the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell.
