The nucleoli disappears; the nuclear membrane breaks down; the mitotic spindle appears and the centrioles begin moving towards opposite ends of the cell.
During prophase, the threadlike chromatin in the cell's nucleus begins to condense into tiny rods.
The chromatin condenses into thick thread-like structures that later become chromatids.
Duplicated chromosomes first become visible during prophase.
chromatid
metaphase
Prophase is when chromosomes group together and prepare for division, while in telophase two new nuclei are formed. telophase is the first step of mitosis; telophase is the fourth step (last).
Telophase is essentially prophase in reverse.
In prophase stage, the replicated chromosomes condense and the nuclear envelope disappears. Earlier in prophase, chromatin visible condenses into the chromosomes.
The chromatin condenses into thick thread-like structures that later become chromatids.
prophase I
prophase I
crossing over occurs in meiosis I, specifically during prophase
synapsis
Crossing over occurs during Prophase I of meiosis.
prophase I
The formation of tetrads are formed during p1(prophase 1)
waht changes in the chromosomes occur during meiosis
Condensation and shortening of chromosomes occur during the prophase stage of mitosis. In prophase, the chromatin fibers condense and coil tightly to form distinct, visible chromosomes.
