MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Phase of mitosis involving condensation of chromatin into chromosomes.
A
Anaphase
B
Prophase
C
Metaphase
D
Telophase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis begins with prophase, during which chromosomes recruit condensin and begin to undergo a condensation process that will continue until metaphase. In most species, cohesin is largely removed from the arms of the sister chromatids during prophase, allowing the individual sister chromatids to be resolved.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chromatin condensation begins during prophase (2) and chromosomes become visible. Chromosomes remain condensed throughout the various stages of mitosis (2-5).

Detailed explanation-3: -Prophase I is divided into five phases: leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis.
