when chromosones line up in mitosis what phase is this called?

Answer 1

In metaphase, the chromosomes are aligned along the metaphase plate in the middle of the cell by spindle fibers.

Answer 2

Metaphase ,as microtubules find and attach to kinetochores in prometaphase, the centromeres of the chromosomes convene along the metaphase plate or equatorial plane, an imaginary line that is equidistant from the two centrosome poles. This even alignment is due to the counterbalance of the pulling powers generated by the opposing kinetochores, analogous to a tug of war between equally strong people. In certain types of cells, chromosomes do not line up at the metaphase plate and instead move back and forth between the poles randomly, only roughly lining up along the midline.

Because proper chromosome separation requires that every kinetochore be attached to a bundle of microtubules, it is thought that unattached kinetochores generate a signal to prevent premature progression to anaphase without all chromosomes being aligned. The signal creates the mitotic spindle checkpoint.

Answer 3

I remembered it like this
this is the order its in

PMAT
Prophase- looks like a pile of poo
Metaphase-Middle
Anaphase- Sisters Split
Telephase- Move to the Two Ends of the Totem Pole
word quirkiness I know but I made a B!

Answer 4

This is metaphase. Here is a nice website with animation and pictures of actual cells during the cycle.

Answer 5

Prometaphase:

Answer 6

during metaphase is when they line up in the middle.

Answer 7

metaphase - they line up along the metaphase plate

Answer 8

Anaphase.

Answer 9

metaphase
this is the only thing that happens in metaphase

Answer 10

It is metaphase.
