The second stage in cell division is called the metaphase, and it involves chromosome attachment to spindle fibers.
At the stage of metaphase, chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell. Homologous chromosomes pair up.
Metaphase occurs during meiosis and mitosis. These processes are how most cells reproduce to make two new cells. Some use binary fission.
No, homologous chromosomes do not pair up during metaphase 2 as they do in metaphase 1. In metaphase 2, individual chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate.
To create a silly sentence using the terms interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis, you might say: "During interphase, the cat wore a hat, while in prophase, it danced with a mouse; in metaphase, it juggled fish, and in anaphase, it chased its tail; finally, in telophase, it took a nap, only to wake up during cytokinesis to find a party!"
Metaphase 1 The chromosomes line up on the equatorial (metaphase) plate. Metaphase 2 Kinetochores of the paired chromatids.
It is during the anaphase of meiosis that the replicated homologous chromosomes line up next to each other at the cell's equator.
No, during metaphase II of meiosis, homologous chromosomes do not pair up as they do in metaphase I. Instead, individual chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate.
Metaphase 1
In metaphase of meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up in pairs, while in metaphase of mitosis, individual chromosomes line up singly.
1. In metaphase 1 spindle formation is completed In metaphase 2 spindle formation take place 2. Bivalent are involved in metaphase 1 Bivalents are not involved in metsphase 2
Metaphase I or Metaphase II? In metaphase I it would have 24. In metaphase II it would have 6.
Metaphase!
