| In metaphase, sister kinetochores attach to microtubules emanating from opposite spindle pole bodies during alignment of the chromosomes. |
| Chromosomal damage can be assessed by the cytogenetic analysis of chromosomes at metaphase. |
| The three other products of female meiosis, the polar bodies, arrest in a metaphase state and associate with radiating arrays of microtubules. |
| The problem is greatest at mitotic metaphase, when chromosomes are shortest and neighboring signals are thus closest. |
| Two pairs of loci were observed in each somatic cell at metaphase and interphase. |
| True non-disjunction as a mechanism causing aneuploidy was separately assessed when a bivalent was found in a set of metaphase II chromosomes. |
