Strictly speaking, the chromosomes are not copied during mitosis but already before cell division takes place. This phase is called INTERPHASE and is again divided into three phases, G1 (first gap), S (synthesis), and G2 (second gap). The replication of chromosomes only happens in the S phase.

The chromosomes do this in preparation for mitosis?

replicate or duplicate


What do chromosomes do before mitosis?

Before mitosis begins, the chromosomes in a cell replicate. This occurs during the S (synthesis) phase. Chromosomes need to replicate so that when the cell divides at the end of mitosis, the daughter cells each recieve a copy of the chromosomes.


The phase of mitosis in which doubling of the centrioles occurs is?

The phase of mitosis in which doubling of the centrioles occurs is the G1 phase. During this phase, the centrioles replicate to ensure that each daughter cell will receive a complete set of centrioles.


What phase is when chromosomal material replicates?

Chromosomes are replicated during DNA replication, which occurs during interphase.


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.


Which phase of mitosis is where the chromosomes are located at the equator of the cell?

The phase of mitosis where the chromosomes are located at the equator of the cell is called the metaphase. Here, the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell, ready to be separated during anaphase.


When do chromosomes (DNA) replicate?

mitosis is the process by which the DNA of a cell is copied, so chromosomes replicated throughout the process


When do chromosomes replicate?

Chromosomes replicate during the S phase of the cell cycle, which occurs before cell division. During replication, each chromosome is copied to produce two identical sister chromatids connected at the centromere. This process ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information.


How many times chromosomes replicate in meiosis?

They replicate before meiosis begins, as it is the division phase. The chromosomes duplicate during interphase which is right before the beginning of meiosis. After going through meiosis I the chromosomes DO NOT duplicate nor do they cross over they simply continue on. Hope this helps. :)


What is the phase of mitosis if chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers?

The phase of mitosis when chromosomes attach to the spindle fibers is the metaphase. During metaphase, the chromosomes align along the equatorial plane of the cell before being separated and pulled to opposite poles during anaphase.


What part of mitosis when the chromosomes replicate and become organized?

Chromosomes replicate and become organized during the interphase stage of the cell cycle, specifically during the S phase. This is when the cell's DNA is duplicated, resulting in two identical sister chromatids joined together at the centromere.


When a chromosomes line up in mitosis what phase is that?

metaphase is when the chromosomes line up in a cell
