Question

What is importance of metaphase in mitosis?

Answer 1

Hello friends...

Metaphase (from the Greek μετά, "adjacent" and φάσις, "stage") is a stage of mitosis in theeukaryotic cell cycle in which chromosomes are at their second-most condensed and coiled stage (they are at their most condensed in anaphase).[1] Thesechromosomes, carrying genetic information, align in the equator of the cell before being separated into each of the two daughter cells. Metaphase accounts for approximately 4% of the cell cycle's duration.[citation needed] Preceded by events in prometaphase and followed byanaphase, microtubules formed in prophasehave already found and attached themselves to kinetochores in metaphase.

Hope it helps you....

Answer 2

Answer:

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. There is an important checkpoint in the middle of mitosis, called the metaphase checkpoint, during which the cell ensures that it is ready to divide.
