The directed movement of a chromosome to a specific location. The process by which genetic material, in the form of chromosomes, is organized into specific structures and then physically separated and apportioned to two or more sets. Any process that is carried out at the cellular level, but not necessarily restricted to a single cell. For example, cell communication occurs among more than one cell, but occurs at the cellular level. The directed movement of a substance or cellular entity, such as a protein complex or organelle, to a specific location within, or in the membrane of, a cell. The cell cycle process whereby chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate, a plane halfway between the poles of the mitotic spindle, during mitosis. Any process that modulates the rate, frequency, or extent of metaphase plate congression, the alignment of chromosomes at the metaphase plate, a plane halfway between the poles of the spindle. Any process by which a chromosome is transported to, or maintained in, a specific location. The cell cycle process whereby chromosomes are aligned at the metaphase plate, a plane halfway between the poles of the meiotic spindle, during meiosis. The directed movement of an organelle to a specific location. The alignment of chromosomes at the metaphase plate, a plane halfway between the poles of the spindle.
