they line up in the middle during metaphase, metaphase1, and metaphase 2.
during cell reproduction the "mother cell" makes a copy of chromosomes and then divides them evenly between two "daughter cells" so the chromosome pairs line up in the center of that division.
metaphase
metaphase
In mitosis, cell division creates two diploid cells, while in meiosis, cell division creates two haploid cells. In metaphase of mitosis, a pair of chromosomes meet in the middle of the cell. during anaphase, the pair seperates. In meiosis, the chromosomes line up individualy in metaphase and separate in anaphase. Mitosis is cell division for all cells in the body except gamete cells. Meiosis is cell division for gamete cells.
in meiotic cell division the chromosomes are not aligned in the middle like meta phase.

In the DNA, which is in the nucleus, which is in the center mass of any and every cell...
The phase in cell division where chromosomes align in the middle of the cell is called metaphase.
metaphase
Spindle fibres attach to the centrimeres(the middle part of the chromosome which holds it together) of the chromosomes, then contract to pull them apart.
prophase, when the nucleus gets really big metaphase, where the chromosomes move to the middle anaphase, where the chromosomes move to opposite sides
metaphase
During metaphase - the second stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle - the chromosomes, pulled by the spindle fibers, line up along the middle of the cell, halfway between the centrosomes in the middle of the dividing cell. The chromosomes are now maximally condensed. In mitosis, individual replicated chromosomes, each composed of two sister chromatids, move to the equatorial plate during this step (whereas during the first division of meiosis, pairs of replicated chromosomes (tetrads) line up at this stage). This lack of pairing between homologs during mitosis is a fundamental distinction between mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis, unlike meiosis, produces identical daughter cells, because each homolog divides into two identical chromatids during anaphase.
