Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Metaphase is the stage of mitosis in which the chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell, also known as the metaphase plate. This alignment is necessary for the proper separation of chromosomes during anaphase. The separation of centromeres and sister chromatids occurs during anaphase and not during metaphase. Cytokinesis, which is the division of the cytoplasm to form two daughter cells, occurs after mitosis is complete.
