Metaphase involves the alignment of chromosomes at the spindle equator, with centrosomes at opposite poles, and the triggering of enzymes to separate chromatids at the end of the phase.

| Front | What occurs during metaphase? |
|---|---|
| Back | 1. 2 centrosomes are at opposite poles of the cell 2. Chromosomes cluster at midline of cell with centromeres aligned at the spindle equator 3. At the end of metaphase, enzymes act to separate the chromotids from each other are triggered |
