During metaphase, the microtubules pull the sister chromatids back and forth until they align in a plane, called the equatorial plane, along the center of the cell. During anaphase, the sister ...

One either side of the triangle lies a bow-shaped quadrant, each of which is inclined at 28.4° to the vertical in the equatorial plane. The sundial works by casting the shadow of the gnomon (a ...
