Metaphase is the phase of cell division where chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell just prior to splitting to the poles at anaphase. During mitosis identical chromosomes pair up on the equator, wheras during meiosis the homologous pairs line up together during meiosis 1 and then homologous chromatids line up together in meiosis 2.

What are some characteristics of mitosis and not meiosis?
In mitosis, cell division creates two diploid cells, while in meiosis, cell division creates two haploid cells. In metaphase of mitosis, a pair of chromosomes meet in the middle of the cell. during anaphase, the pair seperates. In meiosis, the chromosomes line up individualy in metaphase and separate in anaphase. Mitosis is cell division for all cells in the body except gamete cells. Meiosis is cell division for gamete cells.
What happens in metaphase 1?
pairs of homologous chromosomes move to the equator of the cell
What event occurs during metaphase?
The chromosomes attach to a spindle fiber across the equator of the cell.
Summarize what happens during interphase?
Interphase is the stage in which the cell grows, matures, and replicates its DNA. It is divided into three phases - G1, S, and G2. During interphase the cell prepares itself for cell division.
Why is metaphase the longest stage in mitosis?
Metaphase is the stage of mitosis in which the all of the cell's chromosomes align along the equator of the cell. It is the final stage before the cell splits into two daughter cells.
What activity happens during the M phase?
cell growth stops & energy is utilized during division of it into two daughter cells.
What happens to cell membranes during cell division?
During prophase the nuclear membrane disintegrates. The metaphase through anaphase the molecules are not formed as membranes. During telophase it reintegrates and in interphase it is present as normal.
Describes what happens during metaphase?
Chromosomes align along equator, or metaphase pate of cell.
What is the cause of tetraploid?
Errors in cell division. Can occur during mitosis or in metaphase I of meiosis.
When does the nuclear membrane begin to fade from view during cell division?
ya
Chromosomes line up across the middle of the cell?
during cell reproduction the "mother cell" makes a copy of chromosomes and then divides them evenly between two "daughter cells" so the chromosome pairs line up in the center of that division.
The chromosomes line up in the mid-line of cell during what portion of cellular division?
they line up in the middle during metaphase, metaphase1, and metaphase 2.
What is cell division is divided into?
Metaphase
Is metaphase a plant cell or animal cell?
Metaphase is found in both plant and animal cell division
What is the chemical that stops cell division in the metaphase stage?
colchicine is used to stop cell cycle during metaphase. In chromosome karyotype analysis, it is used.
What is the purpose of spindle fibers during mitosis?
Spindle fibers move chromosomes to the center of the cell during metaphase of cell division and break the chromosomes apart during Anaphase.
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.
