Definition of metaphase in English: metaphasenoun ˈmɛtəfeɪzˈmɛdəˌfeɪz mass nounBiology The second stage of cell division, between prophase and anaphase, during which the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibres. Example sentencesExamples - The problem is greatest at mitotic metaphase, when chromosomes are shortest and neighboring signals are thus closest.
- The most direct way to assess chromosomal aneuploidy is to evaluate chromosome numbers in metaphase cells.
- Chromosome loss takes place by lagging of chromosomes at metaphase, for example because spindle fibres may fail to attach to a chromosome.
- These tests score either chromosomal structural aberrations at metaphase or micronuclei at interphase.
- The events in this stage of the cell cycle leading to cell division are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
