Why would it be advantageous to the cell to have it's DNA molecules tightly condensed into nucleosomes during mitosis?

If you stretch out the DNA molecule form its one end to another, it will be close to 2m long. Therefore before a cell can divide into two during mitosis it is essential that the DNA is tightly and orderly compacted in the nucleus of the parent cell. Proper organization of the DNA is important for transmitting the genetic information of an organism from one cell to another.

How is DNA condensed into a nucleus?
Protein involved in DNA condensation. In most eukaryotes, the chromosomal packing involves the wrapping of DNA around a core of histones to form nucleosomes. Adjacent nucleosomes are packaged together via Histone 1 and nucleosomes are organized into a 30 nm chromatin fiber. DNA condensation takes place as cells enter mitosis or when germ cells enter meiosis.
When would a cell become shorter thicker and condensed?
during mitosis(prophase)
How is DNA condensed at the beginning of mitosis?
the answer is chromosomes they form into short conden
Why do the chromosomes become easier to see under the microscope just before mitosis?
during mitosis and meiosis because the condensed chromosomes are thicker and therefore more prominent.
List two roles of nucleosomes?
they pacl together to form a thick fiber, and help separate chromosomes during mitosis. -susie phan <33 :]
What happens to the nucleosomes during mitosis?
During mitosis, the fibers of each individual chromosome are drawn together forming the tightly packed nucleosomes. The tight packing of nucleosomes may help separate chromosomes during mitosis.

Do Cells that have DNA organized into nucleosomes have more complex gene regulation than other types of cells?
generally yes. because when a cell has DNA that are nucleosomes they generally go through mitosis or meiosis. this makes them more complex than say bacteria which have plasmids as their DNA structure instead of nucleosomes and go through binary fission instead of mitosis or meiosis
Is it advantageous to give chemotherapy during interphase mitosis?
It is advantageous to give chemotherapy during interphase mitosis. By administering chemo, it will encourage the cells to fail and eventually die off.
Can chromosomes be seen during mitosis?
Yes, as they are at their most condensed going through mitosis. Seen with a microscope, that is!
When do condensed chromosomes move around the cell in mitosis?
during metaphase and anaphase
When would a cell become shorter thicker and condensed?
during mitosis(prophase)

What is the process that makes identical molecules?
Mitosis

What must the DNA do during Prophase of mitosis in order to fit into every cell?
Durring prophase the DNA becomes highly condensed.
