Chromosomes
chromosomes
Chromosomes condense and form during the prophase stage of mitosis. This is when the chromatin fibers in the nucleus tighten and become visible as distinct structures through a microscope.
The nucleus.
The breakdown of the nucleus occurs in the prophase stage of mitosis. This is when the nuclear envelope disintegrates, allowing the chromosomes to be released into the cytoplasm for subsequent division.
Prophase and cytokinesis
It's the CENTRIOLES and their star-like radiating structures, called asters.This is Stage 1 in Mitosis:Chromatin in the nucleus condenses to form chromosomes. The pairs of centrioles move to the opposite sides of the nucleus. Spindle fibers form a bridge between the ends of the cell. The nuclear envelope breaks down.
Prophase
The centrosomes, which contain the centrioles in animal cells, not plant cells.
The phase of mitosis where the nuclear envelope and nucleus disappear is called prophase. During prophase, the chromatin condenses into discrete chromosomes, and the spindle apparatus begins to form, facilitating the movement of chromosomes during cell division.
The chromosomes in a cell's nucleus are only visible during the part of the cell cycle known as prophase. Prophase is the stage of mitosis in which chromatin condensation occurs.
