Best Answer

Cell division includes a stage known as mitosis (meiosis in gametic cells), which has four phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Each stage can be differentiated under a microscope by the physical changes visible in the cells nucleus; particularly the chromosomal alignment. In prophase chromatids condense to form chromosomes, the mitotic spindle forms and the nucleur membrane breaks down.

Yes. During prophase the chromosomes condense to prepare for cell division.

What happens to cell membranes during cell division?

During prophase the nuclear membrane disintegrates. The metaphase through anaphase the molecules are not formed as membranes. During telophase it reintegrates and in interphase it is present as normal.


What happens to cytoplasm during interphase?

nothing happens during interphase. That is when the cell starts the process of the cell cycle and goes into prophase.

Which phase is directly affected when a cancer drug interferes with the development of mitotic spindle fibers during cell division?

Late prophase, metaphase, and anaphase would be negatively affected by a cancer drug that interferes with the development of mitotic fibers in cell division.


What is the first active step in cell division?

Prophase is the first active step in cell division.


What is an easy way to explain prophase?

Prophase is the first stage of any cell division (excluding interphase). This is the stage where a cell prepares it for upcoming cell division. Further properties can be found in books and elsewhere.
