Question

During metaphase the chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell called the

Answer 1

Answer:

Equatorial plate/ metaphase plate

Explanation:

The cell cycle consists of 4 phases:

1. G1 phase
2. S phase
3. G2 phase
4. M phase

M phase is further divided into mitosis and cytokineses.

In mitosis, the cell divides its chromosomes whereas in cytokinesis the division of cell contents takes place resulting in two daughter cells.

Mitosis is further composed of:

1. Prophase (chromosomes condense and mitotic spindles are formed)
2. Metaphase (chromosomes align along the equatorial plate or metahase plate)
3. Anaphase (chromosomes are separated and move towards their respective poles)
4. Telophase (chromosomes have reached their respective poles and nuclear membranes starts forming around the newly separated chromosomes)

QUESTION:

During metaphase the chromosomes line up along the middle of the cell called the metaphase plate or equatorial plate.
