During which phase of meiosis do tetrads line up in the middle of the cell?

Tetrads line up in the middle of the cell during metaphase I.


In what part of the cell does the replication occur?

DNA replication occurs during Interphase. This is not normally part of the cell division cycle but interphase must occur before subsequent stages such as prophase and metaphase can occur.


Number of cells during prophase?

There is still only 1 cell during prophase.


In what phase does chromosomes condense and become visible?

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.


What events occur during prophase?

The nucleoli disappears; the nuclear membrane breaks down; the mitotic spindle appears and the centrioles begin moving towards opposite ends of the cell.


When does crossing over occure?

Can chromosomes be seen in a cell that is observed in prophase?

Yes. During prophase the chromosomes condense to prepare for cell division.


What phase in the cell cycle dissolves the nuclear membrane?

The Nuclear membrane dissolves during prophase


Does condensation of the chromosomes occur during mitosis?

Yes it occurs during prophase, the first phase of mitosis. This is the only time when we can see the physical shapes of the cell's chromosomes.
