Mitosis occurs in almost all eukaryotic cells. The duplication of chromosomes only occurs during the S phase of interphase in mitosis to form chromatids.

What phase does condensation and shortening of chromosomes occur?

Condensation and shortening of chromosomes occur during the prophase stage of mitosis. In prophase, the chromatin fibers condense and coil tightly to form distinct, visible chromosomes.


In which phase do chromosomes align on the spindle equator?

Chromosomes align on the spindle equator during the metaphase. During the metaphase the chromosomes meet on an imaginary line between the two poles.


Why is it important for the chromosomes to condense during mitosis a to facilitate DNA replication B to faciliate chromosome movement Cto faciliate cytokinesis d to facilitate spindle formation?

B. It is important for chromosomes to condense during mitosis to facilitate chromosome movement. Condensed chromosomes are easier to separate and move to opposite ends of the cell during cell division, ensuring that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.


What is the purpose of Hydrochloric acid in mitosis slide preparation?

Hydrochloric acid is used in mitosis slide preparation to hydrolyze proteins and separate chromosomes from other cellular components. This helps in releasing the chromosomes and making them visible under a microscope for analysis during mitosis.


Why we use hcl in mitosis experiment in onion root tip?

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is used in the mitosis experiment on onion root tips to hydrolyze the pectin in the cell walls, making it easier to separate the cells for analysis. By softening the cell walls, HCl helps release the individual cells, allowing for better visualization of the chromosomes during different stages of mitosis. This process is crucial for accurately counting and identifying cells in various stages of the cell cycle, providing valuable data for studying cell division and growth.

When during mitosis do chromosomes attach to spindle fibers?

Chromosomes attach to spindle fibers during metaphase of mitosis. This is when the chromosomes align at the cell's equator, forming a metaphase plate. The spindle fibers attach to the centromere region of the chromosomes.

If a parent cell has 34 chromosomes at the beginning of mitosishow many chromosomes will the daughter cells have at the end of mitosis?

If you mean after interphase, beginning of mitosis, then each daughter cell would have 17. BUT! Do you mean SINGLE ARMED CHROMOSOMES or double? During prophase, single armed chromosomes condense into double armed chromosomes. If you meant double armed chromosomes, 34 of them, then the answer would be 34 (each, cause it's gonna be single armed)
