In which phase of mitosis does the chromatin condense into chromosomes which you can see under the microscope?
|
|
Prophase
|
|
|
Metaphase
|
|
|
Anaphase
|
|
|
Telophase
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Chromatin condensation begins during prophase (2) and chromosomes become visible. Chromosomes remain condensed throughout the various stages of mitosis (2-5).
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: -Metaphase. Next, chromosomes assume their most compacted state during metaphase, when the centromeres of all the cell’s chromosomes line up at the equator of the spindle. Metaphase is particularly useful in cytogenetics, because chromosomes can be most easily visualized at this stage.
