LMNA
Which phase of mitosis is characterized by the most compacted state of chromosomes lining up on the equatorial plane?
Metaphase
Test your knowledge on the phases of mitosis with this quiz covering prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Questions include the events that occur in each phase, such as chromosome condensation, alignment at the metaphase plate, and separation of sister chromatids.
