DNA
The cell's chromatin condenses into chromosomes during prophase. In contrast, telophase is where the chromosomes loosen to form chromatins.

DNA condenses into chromosomes during the prophase stage of cell division.
DNA condenses into chromosomes during the prophase stage of the cell cycle.
DNA condenses into chromosomes during the prophase stage of the cell cycle.
During Interphase the DNA is not in the form of chromosomes. It is not until Prophase that it condenses and chromosomes become visible.
condenses into chromosomes, which contain DNA and protein
Chromatin which condenses to form chromosomes and is located in the Nucleus.
Chromosomes are made of DNA and proteins, particularly histones. During cell division, the chromatin (the loose form of DNA) condenses into tightly packed chromosomes to ensure proper segregation of genetic material. This condensation occurs during the prophase stage of mitosis and meiosis, allowing for the organized distribution of chromosomes to daughter cells.
The stage of mitosis where chromosomes shorten and thicken and the nuclear membrane begins to disappear is prophase. During prophase, the chromatin condenses into distinct chromosomes and the nuclear envelope breaks down, allowing the chromosomes to interact with the spindle fibers.
Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes.
