PANTHER Class Information   
Name:  metaphase chromosome alignment
Definition:  A chromosome localization process whereby chromosomes are positioned in a specific order and orientation at the metaphase plate (spindle equator), during chromosome segregation. This alignment ensures that each daughter cell will receive the correct number of chromosomes during cell division.
Class ID:  GO:0051310
