During prophase, the first stage of mitosis, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, each consisting of two sister chromatids joined at a centromere. The nuclear envelope begins to break down, and the mitotic spindle starts to form from the centrosomes, which move to opposite poles of the cell. Additionally, the nucleolus disappears, signaling the preparation for chromosome alignment and separation. Overall, prophase sets the stage for the subsequent stages of cell division.
