Detailed explanation-1: -During prophase, the chromosomes condense, the nucleolus disappears, and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
Detailed explanation-2: -The first and longest phase of mitosis is prophase. During prophase, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and the nuclear envelope (the membrane surrounding the nucleus) breaks down.
Detailed explanation-3: -During prophase, the parent cell chromosomes-which were duplicated during S phase-condense and become thousands of times more compact than they were during interphase.
Detailed explanation-4: -During prophase, the complex of DNA and proteins contained in the nucleus, known as chromatin, condenses. The chromatin coils and becomes increasingly compact, resulting in the formation of visible chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-5: -Meiotic prophase I is subdivided into five stages: leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis.
