(3)Metaphase: ■ Chromosomes reach the maximum degree of aggregation. All centromeres are arranged on the equatorial plate, microtubules at both sides balanced on length and power. Mitotic apparatus:chromosomes,aster,centrosomes and spindle. Metaphase Anaphase Equatorial Daughter chromosomes (metaphase)plate Each centromere divides,and the new chromosomes (each The duplicated centromere derived from one member of regions connecting paired one of the sets of paired chromatids become aligned chromatids)begin to move in a plane atthe cell's equator toward the poles This document is produced by trial version of Print2Flash.Visit www.print2flash.com for more information
