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.

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

Prophase is one of the stages in the process of mitosis, the stages of mistosis are : 1. Prophase 2. Metaphase 3. Anaphase 4. Telophase. So metaphase, anaphase, and telophase are what happends in mitosis and does not happen in prophase. And what happens in prophase that does not in mitosis is that the sister chromatids that were formed during interphase have shortened and thickened and are now visible with a light microscope.


Chromosomes form during what?
