Vedclass · Answer

(A) During the metaphase stage of cell division,all chromosomes align at the equatorial plate (metaphase plate). Chromosomes at this stage are highly condensed to facilitate their movement and segregation. An acrocentric chromosome,like all other chromosomes,will be in its condensed form and positioned at the equator of the cell,attached to the spindle fibers via its kinetochore.
