Metaphase occurs during meiosis and mitosis. These processes are how most cells reproduce to make two new cells. Some use binary fission.

Can Cytokinesis only occur during metaphase?
No, metaphase is the fourth phase of mitosis.
Does alignment of tetrads at metaphase plate occur in mitosis?
No, it occurs in Meiosis II, Metaphase
Does diploid occur during metaphase 1?
Yes, ths chromosomes remain diploid in metaphase I.
Does DNA replication occur in interphase?
It occurs in metaphase.
What metaphase does nondisjunction occur in Metaphase 1 or metaphase 2?
Non-disjunction is the failure of a pair of chromosomes or chromatids to separate. Since this happens in both metaphase I and II, non-disjunction can occur in either stage.In metaphase I it is the failure of the two homologous chromosomes in the pair to separate. In this case all of the gametes will be affected.In metaphase II it is the failure of the two sister chromatids to separate. In this case only half of the gametes are affected.Non-disjunction is the cause of a number of genetic conditions eg Down syndrome, Triple-X syndrome.See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondisjunction
When does crossing over occur im meiosis?
it takes place in the metaphase
What represents the phases of mitosis in the order they occur?
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
What phase does the movement of individual chromosome towards opposite sides occur?
metaphase
What is the cause of tetraploid?
Errors in cell division. Can occur during mitosis or in metaphase I of meiosis.
Why are cells arrested with colchicine during metaphase of mitosis when creating a karyotype?
colchicine is an metaphase arresting substance.
What order does the mitosis stage occur in?
ProphaseMetaphaseAnaphaseTelophaseSometimes, people will include a fifth event, called prometaphse, where the nuclear envelope disappears and the spindles form. Generally, this phase is classified with prophase.
Which phase is known as the organization phase in mitosis?
Metaphase!
