Q

Metaphase

A

spindle fibers attach to chromosomes at the centromere
-chromosomes moved to and line up on “metaphase plate” (center of cell, kinda like equator)
Two centromeres are connecting, one from one side of the cell, another from another side of the cell
-two spindle fibers are attached to centromeres
