During prophase, the chromatin fibers in the nucleus coil tightly and condense into observable chromosomes. The mitotic spindle then begins to form and the centrosomes move away from each other.

the prophase if i remember correctly is the 1st step is cell division

What are the different phases in the mitocytosis phase?

Interphase - Cell growth + Normal cell functions (Large majority of time spent in this phase) G1 Phase - Cell growth + preparations for duplicationS Phase - DNA is duplicatedG2 Phase - Preparations for divisionMITOTIC PHASES~ProphasePrometaphase (Sometimes included in prophase; "Late prophase"MetaphaseAnaphaseTelophaseCytokinesis


What process ensures that each daughter cell gets one complete set of genetic information and that each daughter cell has increased surface area?

MITOSIS. Biologists divide the events of mitosis into four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Mitosis insures that each daughter cell has the same genetic information as the parent cell.


What is miotic spindle?

The miotic spindle moves the chromosomes around in the cell during prophase. The miotic spindle is formed by excess parts from the dismantled cytoskeleton.The spindle is initially setup outside the nucleus. p.s- im in ap biology so u can trust my answer :)


How can prophase I and metaphase I in meiosis cause genetic variation in offerspring?

by being cheesy Edited answer: During prophase I of meiosis pairing among homologous chrosomes takes place. This is followed by crossing over. The recessive and dominant genes get interchanged during chiasma formation and such interchanged genetic material get separated in to different cells during mtaphase I. Hence, prophase I and metaphase I cause genetic variations in the male and female gametes. On randum mating among these gametes, genetic variation in the offsring are caused.
