Question
In which stage of mitosis cell division the chromosomes become arranged in the equatorial plane of the division spindle?
- Prophase
- Metaphase
- Anaphase
- Telophase
Answer
Metaphase
Explanation:
Chromosomes become arranged in the equatorial plane of the division spindle during the Metaphase stage of mitosis. In metaphase, the spindle fibers from opposite poles of the cell attach to the centromeres of each chromosome and align them along the equatorial plane of the cell, also known as the metaphase plate.
