The optimal phase is metaphase, since during metaphase all sister chromatids are paired and lined up neatly at the centre of te cell. A solution of colchicine is usually used to arrest dividing cells at metaphase so that a picture can be taken.
Karyotypes are prepared from mitotic cells in the metaphase or prometaphase portion of the cell cycle. This is when chromosomes assume their most condensed conformations.

Inter-phase occurs before mitosis or meiosis.
The longest phase in meiosis is Meiosis 1.
false
The second phase of Meiosis is called Meiosis II. It is characterized by the second division of the cell, so that the two cells from the previous division now become four daughter cells.
Meiosis is broken up into 2 phases. This include meiosis 1 and meiosis two. After the meiosis 1 phase, prophase 1 begins.
