The metaphase plate is a plane or region that is approximately equidistant from the two poles of a dividing cell. Inmitosis, for instance, the metaphase plate is apparent duringmetaphase. The formation of metaphase plate is in fact one of the indications that the cell is in metaphase. Metapha...
the DNA is highly compacted and once the cell completes the division, the chromosome uncoils again. When the length of metaphase chromosomes is compared with linear DNA, the packing ratio can be as high as 10,000:1. This high level of compaction is achieved by phosphorylation of histone H1...

Metaphase: In metaphase, the chromosomes are lined up along the equator formed at the midpoint of the spindle. The spindle represents the cytoskeletal structure responsible for separating the two halves of a chromosome. Anaphase: During anaphase, the sister chromatids split at the centromeres as ...
In metaphase cells, all duplication-specific FISH signals localize to the subtelomeric region of 7q, confirming that the duplications lie adjacent to each other in the 7q36.3 region (Figure 2). In addition, NS102 exhibited two signals, one of which had a higher intensity compared to that ...

Supplement The kinetochore is a protein structure. It forms at the centromere of every chromosome. Its main function is to bind microtubules of the spindle so that during metaphase the chromosomes would be able to properly align at the metaphase plate prior to anaphase, which is the pulling of...

During prophase, the DNA condenses and prepares for the next stage of cell division. Metaphase is marked by the unique event where the DNA lines up in the center of the cell. Interphase is where DNA is replicated. Mitosis begins with prophase followed by metaphase. During anaphase, the repli...
