Significance of Metaphase Alignment
Why is the alignment of chromosomes at the metaphase plate considered a critical control point (checkpoint) in cell division?
It ensures the nuclear envelope has fully dissolved.
It guarantees that the spindle fibers overlap correctly at the poles.
It ensures that kinetochores are properly attached so daughter nuclei receive one copy of each chromosome type.
It allows the cell time to replicate the centrosomes.
