The 4 Mitosis Phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and ...
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 in Mitosis and Meiosis (Metaphase 1 and 2)
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 - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Metaphase is defined as the point at which all of the chromosome pairs are fully condensed, attached to the mitotic spindle, and aligned at the center—termed the metaphase plate.
