DNA replication takes place during the synthesis phase of the cell cycle. The cell also forms a second centrosomeduring this phase.

The synthesis phase is often written as S phase. It occurs after the first growth (G1) phase, and therefore about midway through interphase.

At the start of the S phase, each chromosome has only one DNA molecule, but by the end of the S phase each has two, which, barring copying errors, are genetically identical, i.e. they have identical base sequences.

The doubling of the DNA and the centrosome constitute preparations for a subsequent cell division (mitosis or meiosis). A cell that is not due to divide will not go through an S phase.
During the synthesis stage of the cell cycle, a cell makes (replicates its own) DNA.

Chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form chromosomes. The pairs of centrioles move to opposite sides of the nulceus. Spindle fibers form a bridge between the ends of the cell. the Nuclear envelope breaks down.

During prophase the chromosomes condense as pairs of sister chromatids, the nuclear membrane disappears, and the mitotic spindle forms. During prometaphase, the kinetochores form on the centromeres of the pairs of sister chromatids, and the microtubules attach to the kinetochores and move the chromosomes to the center of the cell.

Why chromosome observed in prophase but not in interphase?

during prohase the condensed chromosomes become attached to fibers in the spindle at a point near the centromere of each chromatin


In which phase do the chromosomes coil and become short and thick?

Prophase is inside the nucleus the chromosomes get short and thick and as they coil up become visible as pairs attached by the centromere. The centromere is joined to special proteins to from the kinetochore.


How is mitosis and meiosos alike and different?

Mitosis is the process in where cells are made throughout the body. The process is called IPMAT, this stands for Interphase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Mitosis makes different cells with different functions for specific body functions except for the sex gametes. Meiosis on the other hand makes the sex gametes and its process is the same except it is repeated twice. It is called IPMATPMAT Interphase Prohase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Prophase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Meiosis can only make sex gametes and nothing more.


Which event occurs during prohase?

First off, just so you know, I think you mean "Which event occurs during prophase?" which is just a heads up. Answer: The spindle fibers form. Hope this helps.

What occurs in the s-phase?

In the S phase, some activities related to the cell division take place (s stands for synthesis).The cell's DNA replicates, ensuring that future cells obtain similar copies of its hereditary material, and proteins associated with DNA are produced during this phase.
