Do homologous chromosomes pair up during metaphase 2 as they do in metaphase 1?

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 metaphase II, do homologous chromosomes pair up as in metaphase I?

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.


How does metaphase 1 differ from metaphase in mitosis?

In mitosis metaphase the mitotic spindel attaches to one side of a pair of chromosomes and seperates them so that one chromosome ends up on each side. In metaphase 1 of meiosis, the mitotic spindel only attaches to one pair of chromosomes from one side, so that when anaphase occures that pair of chromosomes will end up on one side. overall - mitosis metaphase- chromosomes split - meiosis metaphase 1- chromosome pair stay together and end up one side of the cell.


What is the activity of chromosomes in metaphase 1 of meiosis?

In Mitosis during Metaphase, the chromosomes line up on the metaphase plate, but without their homologues. In Meiosis during Metaphase I, the tetrads line up on the metaphase plate. Then it's back to double-stranded chromosomes lining up in Metaphase II. I


What is chromosomes line up in mitosis to known phase?

In Mitosis and Meiosis, this event is called Metaphase.


Which phase of mitosis is where the chromosomes are located at the equator of the cell?

The phase of mitosis where the chromosomes are located at the equator of the cell is called the metaphase. Here, the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell, ready to be separated during anaphase.


What happens at the end of metaphase 1?

At the end of metaphase I, the homologous pairs of chromosomes line up along the cell's equator. This alignment allows for the independent assortment of genetic material during anaphase I, where the homologous chromosomes separate and move to opposite poles of the cell.


How does metaphase in meiosis differ from metaphase in mitosis?

In metaphase of meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up in pairs, while in metaphase of mitosis, individual chromosomes line up singly.


What phase do chromosomes line up?

Chromosomes line up during the metaphase stage of mitosis. In this phase, the chromosomes align at the center of the cell along the metaphase plate, forming a characteristic line or plane. This alignment ensures that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes during cell division.


How many chromosomes are at the metaphase II equator?

There are two chromosome that are at the metaphase II equator. Chromosomes are already duplicated and are homologous pairs in Metaphase II.


Which step of mitosis are the chromosomes lined up in the center of the cell?

The step of mitosis where chromosomes are lined up in the center of the cell is called metaphase. During metaphase, the chromosomes align along the cell's equator, forming the metaphase plate before they are separated into daughter cells during anaphase.
