From the four choices shown at the left, place the chromosomes in the cell relative to the metaphase plate. Do homologous chromosomes pair during metaphase in mitosis? Place the four chromosomes in a way that reflects how chromosomes line up during metaphase of mitosis. If you place a chromosome correctly, the yellow box will become green and a pop-up message will confirm your correct choice. If you place a chromosome incorrectly, the box will stay yellow and the pop-up message will invite you to place the chromosome on a different position.

Please try to explain why only some arrangements of chromosomes are possible during metaphase of mitosis.
