Metaphase is a critical stage in both mitosis and meiosis where chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, known as the metaphase plate. This alignment ensures that each daughter cell will receive an identical set of chromosomes during cell division. Metaphase plays a vital role in the overall accuracy of chromosome segregation, minimizing the risk of genetic abnormalities.
