In which phase do chromosomes become visible?

The DNA of a cell condenses to form chromosomes during cell division or mitotis, called the M phase of the cell cycle. Specifically, chromosomes acquire their characteristic X shape in the metaphase stage of mitotis. Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids joined at the centromere.


Do all cells in the human body under go mitosis explain?

Yes... Everything in the body has to grow or heal some way or another and the only way for that to happen is through mitosis. Mitotis is the deviding of cells to form two identicle cells, in other words the same amount of chromosomes in the nucleus of the new cells. A strange way to explain the growing part could be: imagine you have a bag made of a stretchy material and you have say, for exsample, four marbles in it, each with one blue stripe in between two yellow stripes. If each marble could devide, it would create two marbles, each with one blue stripe between two yellow stripes. Eventually you will end up with 40 marbles in that same bag causing the bag to expand - the bag has grown... In terms of healing you could imagine that a wall in your house has a gash out of it, so then you take polyfilla and you fix the hole. The polyfilla is like the cells deviding in order to heal. When you're done with the polyfilla the wall will most probibly have a different texture or perhaps stand out. The is true with an old injury. If you have an old cut on your arm or a leg that you have broken you will see the skin is thicker and has a rubbery texture and the bone will also be thicker and stronger there. The bone or skin being thicker acts as a defence mechanism to protect that from happening again. Your whole body is made up of cells... Every part of your body must grow and any part can be injured...!

If my memory does server me correctly, I am pretty sure it's Meiosis. Then again i think that happens after Mitosis. >.<


What does the correct chromosomal condition at prometaphase of mitosis look like?

The chromosomes during the prometaphase of mitotis in biology means that the chromosomes are gathered in the middle in a line with the spindles beginning to attach.

Which phase of cell cycle is the busiest?

The busiest phase of the cell cycle is the interphase. That's just the time before the dividing cell enters mitotis. It's basically just preparing itself for cellular division... It gets bigger and makes a copy of it's DNA.


The phase before mitosis is?

Cell cycle comprises of 4 phases namely, G1, S, G2, & M phase. In mitotic cells M phase is as mitotic phase & In meotic cells m phase indicates meotic phase. So, the phase before mitotis is G2.

How does cell division differ between animal cell and plant cell?

In humans and most animals, cells formed by meiosis division become gametes (sperm or eggs). In plants,meiosis cell division results in the formation of meiospores that grow into haploid gametophytes. These gametophytes in turn produce gametes by mitotic division. In either case, the basic result of meiosis is the same: haploid cells with increased genetic variation. Additionally, mitotis division in plants follows the same basic pattern that occurs in animals, with some notable exceptions. The cells of most plants do not have centrioles, although a spindle of fibers is present. Cytokinesis usually, but not always occurs during telophase. The rigid cell wall prevents the formation of cleavage furrow during cytokinesis; instead, a cell plate forms to separate the parent cell into two daughter cells, and a new cell wall forms along the cell plate.
