During metaphase, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, also known as the metaphase plate. This stage is crucial for ensuring that each daughter cell will receive an identical set of chromosomes during cell division. Chromosomes condense and become thick and distinct during prophase, which occurs before metaphase.
