prophase is the first step in Mitosis. It is when the loose DNA starts to gather to form chromatid, the DNA copies itself, the spindle fibers start to form, and the cell prepares itself for cell division.
During very early prophase a big tip that the cell is no longer in interphase is that the nucleoli have disappeared and the nuclear material appears grainy.During late prophase and begin to pull the...
In prophase, chromatin fibers condense tightly into chromosome pairs. The centrosomes move away from each other and spindle microtubules grow from them; in other words, the mitotic spindle begins to...
At the end of prophase all of the chromosomes(chromatids joined at the centromere) are now floating around the cells and the spindle fibers are formed. Then you go into Metaphase where the...
