during the metaphase. and they are called sister chromatids, not double chromosomes
Chromosomes line up in their homologous pairs along the equatorial plate in a haploid cell.
During metaphase I
Metaphase II
Chromosomes align in a single row at the metaphase plate at right angles to the spindle poles. they actually go to the spindles equator
ensures that the resulting haploid cells will have the same combination of homologous chromosomes as the original diploid cell
Crossing over is the exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes where as Independent assortment is the process in which the chromosomes pair align themselves 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.
Meosis 1(1st stage) 2 daughter cells are formed with each daughter containing only one chromosome of the homologous pairs thus containing haploid no. of chromosomes each. Meiosis II(2nd stage) is similar to mitosis. DNA does not replicate Chromosomes align at the equatorial plate. Centromeres divide and sister chromatids migrate separately to each pole. Four haploid daughter cells are obtained.
Metaphase is the stage where the chromosomes are align in the center of the cell.
In the nucleus of a cell along the equator.
The phase in which paired chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell is called metaphase.
Chromosomes align in a single row at the metaphase plate at right angles to the spindle poles. they actually go to the spindles equator
Chromosomes align along equator, or metaphase pate of cell.
Chromosomes align on the spindle equator during the metaphase. During the metaphase the chromosomes meet on an imaginary line between the two poles.
The chromosomes move themselves to and align in the equator of the cell.
ensures that the resulting haploid cells will have the same combination of homologous chromosomes as the original diploid cell
There won't be more than 23 Chromosomes at any stage unless the individual has a genetic disorder. They align in metaphase during mitosis and meiosis.
Crossing over is the exchange of DNA between homologous chromosomes where as Independent assortment is the process in which the chromosomes pair align themselves at the equator of the cell.
metaphase 1 occurs only in mitosis. the metaphase 2 is in meiosis. in metaphase 1, spindle fibers align the homologous chromosomes along the equator so that two chromosomes are on one side, and the other two are on the other side whereas in metaphase 2 spindle fibers align them along the equator so that all four chromosomes get cut in half.
They align during Metaphase I
