At the metaphase plate:

1. The sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the same pole
2. The non sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the same pole
3. The sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the opposite poles
4. The non sister chromatids of a chromosome are connected by their kinetochores to the spindle fibers from the opposite poles
