The chromosomes line up so that the sister chromatids can get separated by the pulling action of spindle fibres. These sister chromatids are then divided into the two cells - one cell gets each. The lining up is important so that there is equal division.
No, chromosomes do not undergo crossover during mitosis. Crossover, also known as genetic recombination, occurs during meiosis, not mitosis.
During prophase of mitosis, the chromatin coils and condenses to form tightly packed structures called chromosomes. This condensation allows for easier segregation of genetic material during cell division.
In meiosis, chromosomes align in pairs during metaphase I, while in mitosis, chromosomes align individually during metaphase.
G2phase
During metaphase of mitosis, the chromosomes become attached to the spindle fibers.
what guides the chromosomes movement during mitosis
They first become visible during prophase of mitosis.
Mitosis
Chromosomes form during cell division, specifically during the process of mitosis. During mitosis, the chromosomes condense and line up before being separated into two daughter cells.
No, chromosomes do not undergo crossover during mitosis. Crossover, also known as genetic recombination, occurs during meiosis, not mitosis.
The chromosomes coil up and condense during prophase
During prophase of mitosis, the chromatin coils and condenses to form tightly packed structures called chromosomes. This condensation allows for easier segregation of genetic material during cell division.
Condensation and shortening of chromosomes occur during the prophase stage of mitosis. In prophase, the chromatin fibers condense and coil tightly to form distinct, visible chromosomes.
Both autosomes and sex chromosomes separate during mitosis./ Somatic chromosomes separate during mitosis with same number as in the parent cell.
All chromosomes are reproduced during mitosis.
In meiosis, chromosomes align in pairs during metaphase I, while in mitosis, chromosomes align individually during metaphase.
Chromosomes attach to the mitotic spindle during the metaphase of mitosis. Part of the answer depends on how you define the stages of mitosis and not everybody does this the same way. The short answer is all of them.
