Describes what happens during metaphase?

Chromosomes align along equator, or metaphase pate of cell.


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.


What happens during division?

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase (including cytokinesis)


Which phase of meiosis is most directly related to the law of independent assortment?

The law of independent assortment is most directly related to the metaphase I stage of meiosis. During metaphase I, homologous chromosomes line up randomly at the equatorial plate, independently of each other, before separating into different daughter cells. This random alignment contributes to the independent assortment of alleles from different genes located on non-homologous chromosomes.


What metaphase does nondisjunction occur in Metaphase 1 or metaphase 2?

Non-disjunction is the failure of a pair of chromosomes or chromatids to separate. Since this happens in both metaphase I and II, non-disjunction can occur in either stage.In metaphase I it is the failure of the two homologous chromosomes in the pair to separate. In this case all of the gametes will be affected.In metaphase II it is the failure of the two sister chromatids to separate. In this case only half of the gametes are affected.Non-disjunction is the cause of a number of genetic conditions eg Down syndrome, Triple-X syndrome.See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nondisjunction

What is a metaphase?

A metaphase cell is a stage in the cell cycle. It happens when a chromosome is most highly condensed and hence it is easiest to distinguish and to study the cell.

Do meisosis and mitosis have metaphase?

Mitosis for sure has metaphase. Scientists are guessing that meiosis has it too, but they combine it and make it "prometaphase," because prophase and metaphase happens so fast in meiosis.
