During metaphase,the spindle fibers attach to the centromere of the chromosomes and align them at the central region of the cell. What is this region called?

The plane of alignment of chromosomes at the metaphase stage of the cell cycle is referred to as the

The most dramatic period of the cell cycle is:

Centromere is required for
