If you are referring to prophase of mitosis, the cell's chromatin is condensing into organized chromosomes, visible under the light microscope. Spindle fibers are attaching to the centromeres and the centrioles are moving to the poles of the cell.
The two phases of prophase during meiosis are different though.
During prophase, the cell undergoes several changes, including condensation of chromatin into visible chromosomes, breakdown of the nuclear envelope, assembly of the mitotic spindles, and movement of the centrioles to opposite poles of the cell. These changes prepare the cell for the subsequent stages of mitosis.
No, crossing over occurs during prophase 1 of meiosis, not prophase 2.
Chromatin changes to thick rods called chromosomes during anaphase. During anaphase the centromeres divide and are pulled apart by the spindle fibers. They then move to opposite ends of the poles.
During prophase of mitosis, the number of cells remains constant. Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where the nucleus condenses and the chromosomes become visible, but the cell itself does not divide yet.
During prophase of cell division, there are typically 46 cells in humans.
During mitosis, chromosomes are in their most condensed form during metaphase
The chromosomes coil up and condense during prophase
Crossing over occurs during Prophase I of meiosis.

prophase I
The chromosomes in a cell's nucleus are only visible during the part of the cell cycle known as prophase. Prophase is the stage of mitosis in which chromatin condensation occurs.
