The 4 Mitosis Phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
Phase 2: Metaphase. Metaphase is the phase of mitosis that follows prophase and prometaphase and precedes anaphase. Metaphase begins once all the kinetochore microtubules get attached to the sister chromatids’ centromeres during prometaphase.
Metaphase - Definition and Stages in Mitosis and Meiosis | Biology
Metaphase is a stage in eukaryotic cell division in which the chromosomes align on the metaphase plate in the middle of the cell. The stages of prophase and prometaphase come before metaphase.
Metaphase - Wikipedia
Metaphase (from Ancient Greek μετα- (meta-) beyond, above, transcending and from Ancient Greek φάσις (phásis) 'appearance') is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage (they are at their most condensed in anaphase). [1] .
Metaphase | Definition, Mitosis, Summary, & Facts | Britannica
Metaphase, in mitosis and meiosis, the stage of cell division characterized by the alignment of the chromosomes along the midline of the cell. Metaphase is preceded by prophase and is followed by anaphase.
Metaphase in Mitosis and Meiosis (Metaphase 1 and 2) - Microbe Notes
Metaphase is a subsequent phase in the cell division cycle that follows up from the condensation of the chromosomes from prophase. The condensation process is important to ensure that the chromosomes (chromatids) do not get damaged during the pulling and pushing forces they undergo in metaphase.
Metaphase - National Human Genome Research Institute
Metaphase is a stage during the process of cell division (mitosis or meiosis). Normally, individual chromosomes are spread out in the cell nucleus. During metaphase, the nucleus dissolves and the cell’s chromosomes condense and move together, aligning in the center of the dividing cell.
metaphase | Learn Science at Scitable - Nature
Metaphase is the third phase of mitosis, the process that separates duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During metaphase, the...
Metaphase Definition and Examples - Biology Online Dictionary
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. Cell divisions in eukaryotes, particularly mitosis and meiosis, are important since they give rise to new cells. Mitosis produces two cells that are ...
Metaphase - Definition, Stages, Applications - Biology Notes Online
Metaphase is a stage in eukaryotic cell division where chromosomes align at the central plane, known as the metaphase plate, facilitated by spindle fibers, ensuring precise chromosome segregation in subsequent phases.
Metaphase — Definition & Diagrams - expii
Metaphase is the second step in mitosis. During this stage, chromosomes line up along the center of the cell. What's Metaphase? Image source: By LadyofHats (modified by expii) [Public domain], via Wikimedia Commons. After prophase, the second phase of mitosis is metaphase.
