In plant cell mitosis, which phase is characterized by the mitotic spindle being complete, and all chromosomes, attached to microtubules at their kinetochores, aligned at the metaphase plate?

  • A: Prophase
  • B: Prometaphase
  • C: Metaphase
  • D: Anaphase

Explanation

Figure 12.11, Metaphase 3 , states: 'The spindle is complete, and the chromosomes, attached to microtubules at their kinetochores, are all at the metaphase plate.' This directly matches the description in the question.
