Question
Which phase of mitosis is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes along the equator of the cell?
Correct Answer
Option B is the correct answer.
Detailed Explanation
During metaphase, the chromosomes, attached to spindle fibers at their kinetochores, are aligned at the metaphase plate (the cell's equator). This ensures chromosomes are ready to be separated equally.
Hint
The 'meta-' phase is about positioning.
