| metaphase |
(Gr. meta, after + phasis, appearance) Stage of mitosis during which the chromosomes, or at least the kinetochores, lie in the central plane of the spindle. It is the stage following prophase and preceding anaphase.

| metaphase |
Phase of mitosis, or cell division, when the chromosomes align along the center of the cell. Because metaphase chromosomes are highly condensed, scientists use these chromosomes for gene mapping and identifying chromosomal aberrations.

| metaphase |
one of the 5 mitosis phases (prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase). Originally based on light microscopy of living cells and electron microscopy of fixed and stained cells. At metaphase kinetochore microtubules align chromosomes in one midpoint plane. Metaphase ends when sister kinetochores separate. (More? Week 1 Notes | Week 1 Mitosis)
