What happens to the nucleus during prophase of cell division?

During prophase of cell division, the nucleus condenses and the chromatin (DNA and proteins) inside it becomes tightly coiled into chromosomes. The nuclear membrane also breaks down, allowing the chromosomes to become more visible and ready for division.
