What Is Metaphase in Mitosis?
Metaphase is the stage in mitosis where all the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell, ready to be split into two daughter cells. It's like a dance-off where each chromosome pairs up at the dance floor (the cell's equator) before the big split!

Metaphase is when chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Simple, but crucial!
In metaphase, chromosomes just hang out in the middle of the cell, getting ready for their big break.
During metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plate, and the spindle fibers attach to each chromosome's centromere. It's a critical checkpoint to ensure everything's in order before the big divide.
