There is no metaphase checkpoint. The checkpoint actually occurs in anaphase, when the Cdh1 binds to the anaphase promoting complex, starting the destruction of the mitotic cyclins

This may be true in its position in the cell cycle but it is still referred to as Metaphase checkpoint. SteveD 31st May 2008. 20:51 pm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.179.90.52 (talk) 10:52, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
