Why would it be advantageous to the cell to have it's DNA molecules tightly condensed into nucleosomes during mitosis?
If you stretch out the DNA molecule form its one end to another, it will be close to 2m long. Therefore before a cell can divide into two during mitosis it is essential that the DNA is tightly and orderly compacted in the nucleus of the parent cell. Proper organization of the DNA is important for transmitting the genetic information of an organism from one cell to another.

How is DNA condensed into a nucleus?
Protein involved in DNA condensation. In most eukaryotes, the chromosomal packing involves the wrapping of DNA around a core of histones to form nucleosomes. Adjacent nucleosomes are packaged together via Histone 1 and nucleosomes are organized into a 30 nm chromatin fiber. DNA condensation takes place as cells enter mitosis or when germ cells enter meiosis.
When would a cell become shorter thicker and condensed?
during mitosis(prophase)
How is DNA condensed at the beginning of mitosis?
the answer is chromosomes they form into short conden
Are the chromosomes condensed in the G2 phase of inter phase?
Yes, chromosomes are fully duplicated and condensed during the G2 phase of interphase in preparation for cell division. This condensed form allows for easier segregation of genetic material during mitosis or meiosis.
What is the best stage of Mitosis to study chromosome morphology?
The best stage of mitosis to study chromosome morphology is metaphase, as this is when the chromosomes are fully condensed and aligned along the metaphase plate in preparation for separation.
What happens to the nucleosomes during mitosis?
During mitosis, the fibers of each individual chromosome are drawn together forming the tightly packed nucleosomes. The tight packing of nucleosomes may help separate chromosomes during mitosis.

Do Cells that have DNA organized into nucleosomes have more complex gene regulation than other types of cells?
generally yes. because when a cell has DNA that are nucleosomes they generally go through mitosis or meiosis. this makes them more complex than say bacteria which have plasmids as their DNA structure instead of nucleosomes and go through binary fission instead of mitosis or meiosis
Is it advantageous to give chemotherapy during interphase mitosis?
It is advantageous to give chemotherapy during interphase mitosis. By administering chemo, it will encourage the cells to fail and eventually die off.
Can chromosomes be seen during mitosis?
Yes, as they are at their most condensed going through mitosis. Seen with a microscope, that is!
When would a cell become shorter thicker and condensed?
during mitosis(prophase)
When do condensed chromosomes move around the cell in mitosis?
during metaphase and anaphase
How is DNA condensed at the beginning of mitosis?
the answer is chromosomes they form into short conden
When during mitosis are karyotypes made?
Karyotypes are made during metaphase of mitosis when the condensed chromosomes are lined up on the metaphase plate. At this stage, the chromosomes are most condensed and easily identifiable for analysis.
What is the process that makes identical molecules?
Mitosis
Which stage of mitosis Chromosomes decrease in length and leave the nucleus?
During prophase of mitosis, chromosomes condense and become shorter. As mitosis progresses, the condensed chromosomes move to the center of the cell and eventually separate during anaphase.
Are the chromosomes condensed in the G2 phase of inter phase?
Yes, chromosomes are fully duplicated and condensed during the G2 phase of interphase in preparation for cell division. This condensed form allows for easier segregation of genetic material during mitosis or meiosis.
