What would you look for under a microscope on a slide with meiotic cells if you wanted to identify metaphase I

This question lacks options, options are: A) A visible nuclear envelope B) Separated sister chromatids at each pole of the cell C) Tetrads lined up at the center of the cell D) A synaptonemal complex E) A cleavage furrow. The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

During Metaphase I, the chromosomes line up at the midpoint or equator between the poles of the cell and are found at their thickest and shortest structure, that is, the tetrads line up at the equator of the cell. They are identified as two double longitudinal sister chromatids. In animals and plants, the chromatids are connected (at their centromeres) to the fusiform apparatus, which has formed between the two centrioles located at the poles of the cell. In many plants, the centrioles are absent. However, the spindle is still present and the plant chromosomes are attached similarly to the microtubule fibers of the spindle.
