Detailed explanation-1: -Metaphase is the phase following prophase and preceding anaphase of cell divisions (i.e. mitosis and meiosis) and is highlighted by the alignment of condensed chromosomes at the metaphase plate.
Detailed explanation-2: -During metaphase, the kinetochore microtubules pull the sister chromatids back and forth until they align along the equator of the cell, called the equatorial plane.
Detailed explanation-3: -Prophase – The chromosomes shorten and thicken. Metaphase – Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Anaphase – Chromatids break apart at the centromere and move to opposite poles. Telophase – Two nuclei formed after nuclear envelopes reform around each group of chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Metaphase II: Chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate. Anaphase II: Sister chromatids separate to opposite ends of the cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -These phases are prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
