During pro metaphase, the nuclear envelope breaks down, allowing microtubules to interact with the chromosomes. The chromosomes, which are already condensed and visible, attach to the spindle fibers at their kinetochores, located at the centromeres. This stage is crucial for the alignment of chromosomes, ensuring that each daughter cell will receive an identical set during the subsequent stages of cell division. The spindle apparatus continues to form, positioning the chromosomes for metaphase.
Chromosomes align along equator, or metaphase pate of cell.
After prophase in cell division, the next stage is metaphase. During metaphase, the chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, known as the metaphase plate. This alignment is crucial for ensuring that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes during the subsequent stages of division. Following metaphase, the cell proceeds to anaphase, where the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
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.
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase (including cytokinesis)
The phase where each chromosome is connected to a spindle fiber is called metaphase. During metaphase, the chromosomes align at the metaphase plate at the center of the cell, and each chromosome is attached to spindle fibers emanating from opposite poles of the cell.

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.
During mitosis, chromosomes are in their most condensed form during metaphase
Anaphase
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.
It is during the anaphase of meiosis that the replicated homologous chromosomes line up next to each other at the cell's equator.
The chromosome pairs are lined up in the center of the cell, parts of the cytoskeleton have formed the mitotic spindle and are preparing to pull the pairs apart.
