In metaphase, the centromere of the chromosomes aligns themselves on the metaphase plate ( equatorial plate), an imaginary line that is equidistant from the two centrosomes plate. This even alignment is due to the counterbalance of the pulling powers, generating by opposing kinetochore microtubules. 
So the correct option is "Polar and kinetochore microtubules".

Which of the following statement(s) is/are not correct about meiosis?
I. Meiosis involves pairing of homologous chromosomes and recombination between them.
II. Two diploid cells are formed at the end of meiosis-II.
III. Meiosis involves two sequential cycles of cell division called meiosis-I and meiosis-II, but only a single cycle of DNA replication.
IV. Meiosis-I is initiated after the parental chromosomes have replicated which produces identical sister chromatids at the S-phase.
The correct option is
  1. I and III
  2. II only
  3. II and III
  4. I, II, III and IV
