Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The phase of mitosis during which the nuclear envelope fragments and the nucleoli disappear is called
A
interphase
B
prophase
C
metaphase
D
telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During prophase, the chromosomes condense, the nucleolus disappears, and the nuclear envelope breaks down.

Detailed explanation-2: -Answer and Explanation: During prophase in mitosis is when the nuclear envelope and nucleoli dissolve. Mitosis has several phases and the first phase is called prophase. During prophase chromatid condenses into visible chromosomes and the nuclear envelope and nucleoli disappear.

Detailed explanation-3: -Prometaphase is the second phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells. During prometaphase, the physical barrier that encloses the nucleus, called the nuclear envelope, breaks down.

Detailed explanation-4: -During metaphase, the nuclear membrane disappears and the chromosomes become aligned half way between the centrioles.

Detailed explanation-5: -Metaphase follows prophase. During metaphase, the chromosomes align in the center of the cell at the equatorial plate and the spindle fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes.
