Cell Division: Mitosis
Easybiology
Which mitotic phase is characterized by alignment of chromosomes at the equatorial plane?
Select the correct option:
Solution
Incorrect! Answer:
Metaphase
- Stages of Mitosis:
- Prophase: Chromosomes condense, nuclear envelope breaks down.
- Metaphase: Spindle fibers attach to kinetochores and pull chromosomes to the middle of the cell.
- The Plate: The chromosomes align on the metaphase plate (equatorial plane).
- Anaphase: Sister chromatids are pulled apart toward opposite poles.
- Telophase: New nuclei form around the chromatids.
