   Metaphase
   Metaphase is the 2nd stage of mitosis cell reproduction. The chromosomes have become irregular V shaped and arrange themselves around the equator.

   Metaphase
   The stage in mitosis and meiosis when the chromosomes align themselves on the spindle in preparation for anaphase (the next stage). Often separated into two phases - Metaphase I and Metaphase II . Fertilization (by sperm penetration or through ICSI) is optimal at the metaphase II stage. After the metaphase stages the chromosomes move along the spindle to opposite poles. See meiosis.

   metaphase
   Classically the second phase of mitosis or one of the divisions of meiosis. In this phase the chromosomes are well condensed and aligned along the metaphase plate, making it an ideal time to examine the chromosomes in a cytological preparation (metaphase spread) that flattens the nuclei.

   Metaphase
   `Metaphase`, from the ancient Greek `μεÃ?„α` (after) and `Ã?†Î±Ã?ƒιÃ?‚` (stage), is a stage of mitosis in the eukaryotic cell cycle in which condensed chromosomes, carrying genetic information, align in the middle of the cell before being separated into each of the two daughter cells. Preceded by events in prometaphase and followed by anaphase, microtubules formed in prophase have already found and attached themselves to kinetochores in metap...

    metaphase
    The stage of mitosis or meiosis in which the chromosomes become aligned on the equatorial plate of the cell separating the centromeres. In mitosis and in the second meiotic division, the centromeres of each chromosome divide and the two daughter centromeres are directed toward opposite poles of the cell; in the first division of meiosis, the centro...
