During which stage of mitosis do chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane?
- A. Prophase
- B. Metaphase
- C. Anaphase
- D. Telophase
A key event of prophase is

- Treats the spindle primarily as a DNA-synthesis structure.
- Assumes spindle disruption affects only chromosome visibility, not segregation.
