- What's Metaphase? After prophase, the second phase of mitosis is metaphase. During this step, the mitotic spindle is completely developed and the centrosomes (consisting of cent…

- Fill in the blank: Chromosomes align up along the woahblank‾\underline{\phantom{woahblank}}woahblank during the metaphase stage of mitosis.
- Metaphase involves chromosomes aligning along the center of the cell to prepare for division. The spindle fibers are then able to separate the woah‾\underline{\phantom{woah}}woah.
