Metaphase
Metaphase I
Chromosomes align in a single row at the metaphase plate at right angles to the spindle poles. they actually go to the spindles equator
during the metaphase. and they are called sister chromatids, not double chromosomes
In Metaphase, the chromasomes align along the metaphase plate. Associating the location and the stage may help you remember.
Colchicine is a drug that prevents tubulin polymerisation into cytoskeleton structures called microtubules. Microtubules are essential for many functions of the cell, but importantly are needed for cell division. Specifically, they help align homologous chromosomes on the metaphase plate during metaphase and then separate the chromosome pairs during anaphase. So by inhibiting the production of microtubules, the chromosomes never align on the metaphase plate - they will be fully condensed but spread throughout the cell, a situation called a metaphase spread
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.

Chromosome align at the center at metaphase stage.
Metaphase is the stage where the chromosomes are align in the center of the cell.

They align during Metaphase I
This is the metaphase.

Chromosomes align along equator, or metaphase pate of cell.
