What aligns the chromosomes in the middle of the cell?

Solution

Answer: Spindle fibers

Spindle fibers develop from the two poles of cell and they align the chromosomes in the center of the cell, approximately equidistant from the spindle poles. This imaginary line where the chromosomes are aligned is called the metaphase plate and is equidistant from the centrioles, which are on opposite poles of the cell.
