Chromosomes align on the spindle equator during the metaphase. During the metaphase the chromosomes meet on an imaginary line between the two poles.

What phase does condensation and shortening of chromosomes occur?
prophase
Briefly describe what happens during anaphase?
In anaphase, the paired chromosomes (sister chromatids) separate and begin moving to opposite ends (poles) of the cell. Spindle fibers not connected to chromatids lengthen and elongate the cell. At the end of anaphase, each pole contains a complete compilation of chromosomes.The paired centromeres in each distinct chromosome begin to move apart.Once the paired sister chromatids separate from one another, each is considered a "full" chromosome. They are referred to as daughter chromosomes.Through the spindle apparatus, the daughter chromosomes move to the poles at opposite ends of the cell.The daughter chromosomes migrate centromere first and the kinetochore fibers become shorter as the chromosomes near a pole.In preparation for telophase, the two cell poles also move further apart during the course of anaphase. At the end of anaphase, each pole contains a complete compilation of chromosomes.
Do chromosomes double in mitosis?
Mitosis occurs in almost all eukaryotic cells. The duplication of chromosomes only occurs during the S phase of interphase in mitosis to form chromatids.
What steps take place during DNA replication?
Unzipping, Complementary base pairing, Backbone formation. Also known as Initiation, Replication and Termination. 1. Interphase: replication and growth of the chromosomes occur. 2. Prophase: the chromatin condenses to see the individual chromosomes and centrioles move toward the opposite poles of the cell and spindle fibers grow. 3. Metaphase: the chromosomes align in the center of the cell. 4. Anaphase: spindles attach to the chromosomes and split them in part towards the opposite poles. 5. Telophase: the cell begins to separate into to new daughter cells. 6. Cytokinesis: the nucleus begins to form and the cells are completely cut off from each other.
What phase of meiosis do homologous chromosomes cross over?
Crossing over begins early in prophase I of meiosis. At the time, homologous chromosomes Are paired along their lengths. Each gene on one homologue ia alined precisely with the corresponding gene on the other homologue. Source: my science book copy right 2006
What is phase that the chromosomes align along the spindle to prepare to separate?
Metaphase
Which phase of mitosis do chromosomes line up at the equator of the spindle?
in metaphase.
What stage of mitosis is occurring when the chromosomes start to align at the equator of the cell?
The phase in which paired chromosomes line up on the equator of the cell is called metaphase.
What is the phase of mitosis if chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers?
Metaphase is when chromosomes attatch to spindle fibers in the phase of mitosis.
What phase are chromosomes visible and attach to spindle fibers?
Visible in prophase and attach to spindle fibers in meta phase
What is the phase chromosomes align in center of cell?
Metaphase
Which phase pulls spindle fibers apart from homologous chromosomes?
Anaphase
The phase in mitosis in which the chromosomes are lined up in the middle of the spindle?
metaphase
What phase do chromosomes line up?
During metaphase.A trick is to remember: "M for metaphase, M for the middle of the cell". This is to remind you that at metaphase the centromeres of the chromosomes are aligned in the plane of the equator.
Which phase of mitosis is where the chromosomes are located at the equator of the cell?
Metaphase is the third phase of mitosis, when the chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell.
What is a list of the four phase of mitosis in order?
Phase 1- Mitosis begins. Chromosomes condense from long strands into rodlike structures. Phase 2- The nuclear membrane is dissolved. Paired chromatids align at the cell's equator. Phase 3- The paired chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell. Phase 4- A nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes decondense. Mitosis is complete.
During which phase are the chromosomes lined up at the equator?
Metaphase.
