Metaphase Alignment

Metaphase Alignment is a mitotic phenomenon characterized by the precise positioning of condensed chromosomes at the equatorial plane of the cell during metaphase, distinguished by the bipolar attachment of spindle microtubules to kinetochores and the establishment of amphitelic configuration necessary for accurate chromosome segregation.
