Decondense is a word used to describe when the texture of chromatin loosens during mitosis. It is the alteration of chromosome structure from the condensed form to a relaxed disperse form that occurs prior to the formation of two daughter cells identical to each other and to the parent cell.

Decondense typically refers to the process of unwinding or relaxing chromatin structure in the cell's nucleus, allowing for greater access to genetic material for transcription and other cellular processes. This can occur during specific stages of the cell cycle or in response to various cellular signals.

What is a list of the four phase of mitosis in order?

Phase 1- Mitosis begins. Chromosomes condense from long strands into rodlike structures. Phase 2- The nuclear membrane is dissolved. Paired chromatids align at the cell's equator. Phase 3- The paired chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell. Phase 4- A nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes decondense. Mitosis is complete.


During mitosis DNA molecules unwind?

By the time the cell is in telophase, the chromosomes have already replicated, condensed, lined up, and migrated to their poles. During telophase the chromosomes are separating as far apart as possible preparing the cell for cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm).


How does the appearance of the chromosome change through division?

first it becomes two chromatids, then during prophase, chromosomes condense from long strands into rod like structures. During METAPHASE paired chromatids align at the cell's equation. Then during ANAPHASE the paired chromatids separate and move to the opposite side of the cell. During TELOPHASE a nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes, and the chromosomes decondense.
