To see metaphase I animated, click the Play button. The centrioles are at opposite poles of the cell. The pairs of homologous chromosomes (the bivalents), now as tightly coiled and condensed as they will be in meiosis<span>, become arranged on a plane equidistant from the poles called the metaphase plate.</span>
