During prophase the chromosomes are identical chromatids connected at the center by a centromere, forming a X-shaped object. The distinguishing feature of prophase is the setup of the mitotic spindle, which is used to maneuver the chromosomes about the cell. The spindle is formed by excess parts from the dismantled cytoskeleton. The spindle is initially setup outside the nucleus.
The cell's centioles are duplicated to form two pairs of centrioles. Each pair becomes the part of the mitotic center which forms the focus for an array of microtubules, called the aster. The two asters lie side by side close the the nuclear envelope. Near the end of prophase the asters pull apart and the spindle is formed.

The cell lines up and starts mataphase 1
During mitosis, chromosomes are in their most condensed form during metaphase
The cell's chromatin condenses into chromosomes during prophase. In contrast, telophase is where the chromosomes loosen to form chromatins.
The chromosomes coil up and condense during prophase
The chromosomes in a cell's nucleus are only visible during the part of the cell cycle known as prophase. Prophase is the stage of mitosis in which chromatin condensation occurs.
During prophase I of meiosis, chromatin coils up and condenses into visible chromosomes. This process helps to organize and separate genetic material during cell division.

Yes, during prophase of mitosis, the chromatin in the cell condenses and becomes visible as distinct chromosomes. This condensation helps to organize and separate the genetic material before cell division.
The chromosomes coil up and condense during prophase
The chromosomes form during the prophase of mitosis. In prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes as the nuclear envelope breaks down, allowing the chromosomes to be organized and prepared for segregation into daughter cells.

The phase of mitosis that contains chromatin coils and condenses to form deeply staining bodies is prophase. During prophase, the chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes and the nuclear envelope breaks down, preparing the cell for cell division.
Prophase.
In prophase chromatin condenses, spindle fibers form a bridge from one end of the cell to another, and the nuclear membrane starts to break down.
The chromatin fibers condense and shorten into visible chromosomes during the prophase stage of mitosis. This condensation allows for easier segregation of genetic material into daughter cells during cell division.
The stage of mitosis where chromosomes shorten and thicken and the nuclear membrane begins to disappear is prophase. During prophase, the chromatin condenses into distinct chromosomes and the nuclear envelope breaks down, allowing the chromosomes to interact with the spindle fibers.
