Question

At which stage do the chromosome get aligned at the equator ?


Open in App
Solution

Metaphase:

  1. Spindle fibres begin to form during the Metaphase of cell division, and chromosomes align up in the middle, forming an equatorial plate or metaphase plate.
  2. At this time, chromosomes are connected to spindle fibres at the centromere region, and the arms of the chromosomes are normally found on the spindle's equator.
  3. The arms are sometimes pointed towards the poles and the centromeres are on the equatorial plane.
