Solution

The correct option is B False
Metaphase is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage. These chromosomes, carrying genetic information, align in the equator of the cell before being separated into each of the two daughter cells. The chromosomes move towards the opposite poles of the spindle during anaphase.
So, the correct option is 'False'.
