Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chromosomes are lined up at the equator of the cell during the metaphase stage of mitosis. At this stage, the spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes, pulling them towards the center of the cell, and aligning them along the equatorial plane of the cell. Once all the chromosomes are aligned, the cell proceeds to the anaphase stage, where the spindle fibers separate the sister chromatids and pull them to opposite poles of the cell.
