during mitosis and meiosis because the condensed chromosomes are thicker and therefore more prominent.

How many chromosomes do you have in cells before and after mitosis?
You have 24 before, and 12 after.
Why are chromosomes called doubles chromosomes just before mitosis begins?
Amount of DNA that has been doubled
If an Allium cell has 30 chromosomes before Mitosis how many chromosomes are present in each daughter cell?
both will have 30 chromosomes.
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 condenses into an X shape before mitosis?
Chromatids condense into an X shape before mitosis. Chromatids are identical strands of chromosomes. After duplication there are 12 chromatids that are in 3 pair of homologous chromosomes.

What do chromosomes do before dividing in mitosis?
They double into more chromosomes.
When are chromosomes duplicated before or after mitosis?
during
What do chromosomes do before mitosis?
Before mitosis begins, the chromosomes in a cell replicate. This occurs during the S (synthesis) phase. Chromosomes need to replicate so that when the cell divides at the end of mitosis, the daughter cells each recieve a copy of the chromosomes.
Before mitosis or meiosis DNA coils into what?
Before mitosis and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.
What is a term that represents the number of chromosomes in th nucleus before mitosis?
The number of chromosomes in the nucleus before mitosis is dependent on the species. The exact number is called the ploidy of the animal.
Why are chromosomes called doubles chromosomes just before mitosis begins?
Amount of DNA that has been doubled
When a cell divides by mitosis how is the chromosome number affected?
In the beginning of mitosis the number of chromosomes double. But since during mitosis the chromosomes are divided between the two daughter cells the number of chromosomes at the end is the same number as the beginning before doubling.
If an Allium cell has 30 chromosomes before Mitosis how many chromosomes are present in each daughter cell?
both will have 30 chromosomes.

Why must chromosomes be duplicated before mitosis?
Chromosomes have to be duplicated so that the same amount of DNA will be transferred into the new cells formed by mitosis. The new cells will be mutated if they do not duplicate.
