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.

Do chromosomes undergo crossover during mitosis?

No, chromosomes do not undergo crossover during mitosis. Crossover, also known as genetic recombination, occurs during meiosis, not mitosis.


In what stage of mitosis does the chromatin coil and condense to form deeply staining bodies?

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.


What phase does condensation and shortening of chromosomes occur?

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.
