Cell Cycle And Cell Division

Question

Wired Faculty App

In cell cycle, during, which phase chromosomes are arranged in equatorial plate ?

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase

Prophase

Solution

A.

Metaphase

Metaphase in both meiosis and mitosis is characterized by the orientation of chromosomes themselves on the spindle fibres at the equatorial plate.

In prophase, chromatin of the nucleus become condensed forming chromosomes. Chromosome replication occurs in prophase.

Anaphase is characterized by the separation of chromatids.

Telophase in a sense is a reversible process of prophase.
