Which event occurs during metaphase?

During metaphase, the chromosomes align at the metaphase plate in the center of the cell. The spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the sister chromatids, preparing to separate them during anaphase. Metaphase is a critical step in mitosis in ensuring accurate chromosome segregation.


Does alignment of tetrads at metaphase plate occur in mitosis?

Yes, alignment of tetrads at the metaphase plate occurs in meiosis, specifically during meiosis I when homologous chromosomes pair up as tetrads. In mitosis, individual chromosomes align at the metaphase plate.


During which stage of meiosis are the bivalents arranged along the equator?

During the metaphase I meiosis are the bivalents are arranged along the equator. During the prophase I of meiosis I the crossing over occurs.


What is chromosomes line up in mitosis to known phase?

In Mitosis and Meiosis, this event is called Metaphase.


When does independent assortment occur in meiosis?

Independent assortment occurs in meiosis during metaphase I when homologous chromosomes align randomly at the metaphase plate. This allows for different combinations of alleles to be present in the gametes produced.


Do chromosomes duplicate during metaphase in the cell cycle?

Chromosomes do not duplicate during metaphase in the cell cycle. Chromosome duplication occurs during the S phase of interphase, before the cell enters mitosis. During metaphase, the duplicated chromosomes align at the center of the cell before separating into two daughter cells during anaphase.


In which phase do chromosomes align on the spindle equator?

Chromosomes align on the spindle equator during the metaphase. During the metaphase the chromosomes meet on an imaginary line between the two poles.


When does metaphase occur?

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


Which event occurs during phosphate?

Phosphate is not a period of time during which an event can occur.


Which phase of meiosis occurs right after crossing over?

Before crossing over, interphase I takes place. Crossing over occurs during prophase I. Metaphase I occurs after prophase I.


Phase of mitosis and meiosis occurs when chromosomes line up in the center of the cell?

During mitosis, cells line up at the center (also referred to as the equatorial plate) at metaphase. In meosis however, which is a reductional division, the process occurs twice and the cells line up at the centre at metaphase-1 and metaphase-2


During what phase do the chromosomes move to the center of the cell aligned on the spindle apparatus?

This happens during metaphase. I remember this phase because it is the move phaseof mitosis. The m from move matches the m from metaphase.In mitosis, it happens during metaphase.In meiosis, it happens twice and occurs in metaphase 1 and metaphase 2.
