ANucleus
BPoles
CCytoplasm
DMetaphase plate (equator of spindle)
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. Metaphase plate (equator of spindle)
At metaphase, each chromosome is connected via kinetochores to spindle fibers from both poles.
Tension balances them at the equator (metaphase plate).
M-phase checkpoint ensures all kinetochores are attached before anaphase onset.
