believe it or not, mitosis always takes place in the cell; it never stops, even for a fraction of a second! However, there has been a stage called Interphase, which was once incorrectly termed as the Resting Phase of a cell. Scientists have proved that this is not so, for in this stage, the cell engages in different activities to prepare for the next cell division, such as: replication of the DNA, replication of centrioles, formation of new cellular organelles, chromosomes appear as long chromatic threads swollen at intervals into visible chromatic granules, and lastly, the cell synthesizes and stores enough energy, ready for the division! Have I answered your question? -B.C.O :-)

What happens before meiosis begin?
Interphase. The process of meiosis has many similarities to the process of mitosis: chromosomes replicate before the process begins, and shorten and thicken to look like the chromosomes at the beginning of mitosis (condensation).
What must happen before meiosis begins?
A duplication of the chromosomes is what must happen before meiosis can begin.
What event must occur outside the nucleus before mitosis can begin?
Before mitosis can happen, the chromosomes inside the nucleus must separate to form identical pairs. This sets the stage for each of the daughter cells to have a copy of the DNA to replicate the full sequence.
When a fertilized egg undergoes mitosis and cell division?
A zygote is created by the fertilization of two haploid cells created by meiosis. Because a zygote is fertilized by two haploid cells, it is diploid. It then has to divide and grow though mitosis like any other body cells.
What is the phase of mitosis when chromosomes become visibly shortened and thickened?
Prophase
What k must happen before meiosis can begin?
A duplication of the chromosomes is what must happen before meiosis can begin.
What must happen before meiosis can begin?
DNA replicates and forms tetrad—APEX.

What must happen before meiosis begins?
A duplication of the chromosomes is what must happen before meiosis can begin.
Does the actual egg die after fertilization so that meiosis can begin?
Meiosis precedes fertilization so maybe you mean mitosis. A fertilized egg does not die but becomes known as a zygote. The zygote spends roughly a half hour as a single cell before mitosis begins.
What happen to chromosome of a cell in order for meiosis to begin?
they have to duplicate
How are the process of mitosis and meiosis similar to each other?
Both processes begin with similar events, including chromosome replication.
Conclusion between meiosis and mitosis?
It can be concluded that Mitosis and Meiosis have similarities and differences. However,both Mitosis and Meiosis are both types of cell division and each begin with a duplicate set of chromosomes.
In which phase must everything line up before the cells can begin to split apart?
The Metaphase of mitosis in a eukaryotic cell. I don't know for prokaryotic and viruses don't. Also Metaphase in Meiosis 1 and 2.
What event must occur outside the nucleus before mitosis can begin?
Before mitosis can happen, the chromosomes inside the nucleus must separate to form identical pairs. This sets the stage for each of the daughter cells to have a copy of the DNA to replicate the full sequence.
