Mitotic midpoint phases
Metaphases is the plural of metaphase, a stage in cell division when chromosomes align along the center of the cell before separating.
In biology classes and research, you might examine metaphases from multiple cells to study chromosome structure or count chromosomes for genetic analysis.
