The phase of mitosis during which chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate from one another is?

Prophase. The chromosomes become more conspicuous because they gradually condense during prophase. The centrioles separate in animal cells; plant cells lack centrioles.


What process helps make meiotic cells genetically different and occurs during prophase but not during prophase 2?

Th process of independent orientation of chromosomes while in their tetrad forms. But, the more important process that also happens in prophase I is the process of crossing over where chromosomes, male and female, exchange regions of the chromosomes, one with the other.


What happens during prophase you that does not happen during mitosis?

During prophase in meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and undergo crossing over, exchanging genetic material. This process does not occur during mitosis, where individual chromosomes line up and separate without crossing over.


The centrosomes move away from each other and the nuclear envelope breaks up during which phase of mitosis?

This occurs during the prophase stage of mitosis, where the centrosomes migrate to opposite poles of the cell and the nuclear envelope disassembles to allow the spindle fibers to interact with the chromosomes.


Where does recombination of DNA occur?

Recombination occurs when two molecules of DNA exchange pieces of their genetic material with each other. One of the most notable examples of recombination takes place during meiosis (specifically, during prophase I), when homologous chromosomes line up in pairs and swap segments of DNA

How do the chromosomes become different from eachotther in meiosis?

The chromosomes become different from each other due to crossing over which occurs during prophase I.

In what stage do the centrioles move apart?

During the prophase stage of mitosis, the centrioles move apart from each other to opposite poles of the cell. This movement helps to form the spindle fibers that will later attach to and separate the chromosomes during cell division.


What phase of meiosis do homologous chromosomes cross over?

Crossing over begins early in prophase I of meiosis. At the time, homologous chromosomes Are paired along their lengths. Each gene on one homologue ia alined precisely with the corresponding gene on the other homologue. Source: my science book copy right 2006


When can you see DNA?

Chromosomes become visible (under a microscope) during prophase. At other times DNA is generally difficult to see.

How can you tell the difference between interphase and prophase?

Prophase is the first stage of cell division where the chromosomes appear as paired chromatids. Metaphase on the other hand, is the second stage where the chromosomes get attached to the spindle fibers.


WHEN DO Chromosomes decondense into diffuse chromatin?

Chromosomes decondense into diffuse chromatin during interphase of the cell cycle. This occurs after cell division (mitosis or meiosis) is complete, allowing for gene expression and other cellular processes to take place.


How many homologous chromosomes interact with each other or dont during mitosis and meiosis?

In mitosis, the homologous chromosomes dont interact, but in meosis, they separate during Anaphase 1. In mitosis, the homologous chromosomes dont interact, but in meosis, they separate during Anaphase 1.
