During prophase, the chromatin fibers present in the nucleus coil tightly into observable chromosomes. The centrosomes move away from each other and spindle microtubules begin to grow from them; this marks the formation of the mitotic spindle.

What major event happens just before prophase 1 of meiosis but does not occur before prophase 2?

Crossing over of genetic material occurs just before prophase 1 of meiosis, where homologous chromosomes exchange segments. This event does not occur before prophase 2 because homologous chromosomes have already separated during meiosis I.


How does aneuploidy occur?

prophase


What is the difference between prophase mitosis and prophase meiosis?

In prophase I of meiosis, crossing over of homologous chromosomes occurs. This does not happen in prophase of mitosis.


Does crossing over occur during prophase 2 of meiosis?

No, crossing over occurs during prophase 1 of meiosis, not prophase 2.


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.


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.


Pairing of homologues and crossing over occur during?

prophase I


What phase does meiosis crossing over occur?

prophase 1.


What happens during prophase you that does not happen during mitosis?

During prophase in meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and undergo crossing over, exchanging genetic material. This process does not occur during mitosis, where individual chromosomes line up and separate without crossing over.


The events of prophase seem to be opposite of those that occur during what phase?

The events of prophase in mitosis, such as condensation of chromosomes and breakdown of the nuclear envelope, are opposite to those that occur during telophase, where chromosomes decondense, and the nuclear envelope reforms.

What represents the phases of mitosis in the order they occur?

prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
