The third stage of mitosis, in which the spindle is complete and the chromosomes, attached to microtubules at their kinetochores, are all aligned at the metaphase plate. Metaphase plate An imaginary plane during metaphase in which the centromeres of all the duplicated chromosomes are located midway between the two poles. Metastasis The spread of cancer cells to locations distant from their original site.
As mitosis progresses, the microtubules attach to the chromosomes, which have already duplicated their DNA and aligned across the center of the cell. The spindle tubules then shorten and move toward the poles of the cell. As they move, they pull the one copy of each chromosome with them to opposite poles of the cell. This process ensures that each daughter cell will contain one exact copy of the parent cell DNA. Mitosis consists of five morphologically distinct phases: prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
