Best Answer

During mitosis, the fibers of each individual chromosome are drawn together forming the tightly packed nucleosomes. The tight packing of nucleosomes may help separate chromosomes during mitosis.

Do Cells that have DNA organized into nucleosomes have more complex gene regulation than other types of cells?

generally yes. because when a cell has DNA that are nucleosomes they generally go through mitosis or meiosis. this makes them more complex than say bacteria which have plasmids as their DNA structure instead of nucleosomes and go through binary fission instead of mitosis or meiosis


What phase happens during mitosis?

Prophase.


What happens during the process of mitosis?

During the process of mitosis, the nucleus divides!

Nuclear division by mitosis or meiosis


How is DNA condensed into a nucleus?

Protein involved in DNA condensation. In most eukaryotes, the chromosomal packing involves the wrapping of DNA around a core of histones to form nucleosomes. Adjacent nucleosomes are packaged together via Histone 1 and nucleosomes are organized into a 30 nm chromatin fiber. DNA condensation takes place as cells enter mitosis or when germ cells enter meiosis.


During what phase do the chromosomes move to the center of the cell aligned on the spindle apparatus?

This happens during metaphase. I remember this phase because it is the move phaseof mitosis. The m from move matches the m from metaphase.In mitosis, it happens during metaphase.In meiosis, it happens twice and occurs in metaphase 1 and metaphase 2.


In what stage do centrioles replicate?

Centrosomes replicate during the S phase of the CELL CYCLE not mitosis. Mitosis is one stage of the cell cycle. Replication does not happen during mitosis(M phase). It happens during the S phase. In fact, the opposite happens chromosomes are consdensed and packaged in preparation for splitting.


What happens if something goes wrong during mitosis?

Usually mutations or possibly death of the cell.


Why would it be advantageous to the cell to have it's DNA molecules tightly condensed into nucleosomes during mitosis?

If you stretch out the DNA molecule form its one end to another, it will be close to 2m long. Therefore before a cell can divide into two during mitosis it is essential that the DNA is tightly and orderly compacted in the nucleus of the parent cell. Proper organization of the DNA is important for transmitting the genetic information of an organism from one cell to another.


What important thing happens during mitosis?

Another Cell forms that is exactly the same as the previous one.
