The 4 Mitosis Phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase
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 - Wikipedia
In metaphase, microtubules from both duplicated centrosomes on opposite poles of the cell have completed attachment to kinetochores on condensed chromosomes. The centromeres of the chromosomes convene themselves on the metaphase plate, an imaginary line that is equidistant from the two spindle poles. [3]

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 - 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 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.

The Stages of Mitosis and Cell Division - ThoughtCo
Chromosomes align at the metaphase plate at right angles to the spindle poles. Chromosomes are held at the metaphase plate by the equal forces of the polar fibers pushing on the centromeres of the chromosomes.

Mitosis Phases, Importance, and Location
Mitosis is classically divided into either four or five stages: prophase, prometaphase (sometimes included in prophase), metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Each phase features unique events concerning chromosomal alignment, spindle formation, and the division of cellular contents.

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, 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.

Cell Cycle Stages: Mitosis (Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase)
In metaphase, the next stage of mitosis, the chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate. The spindle fibres attach to the centromeres of the sister chromatids.
