What Happens During the Prophase of Mitosis?
During prophase, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes, the nuclear membrane dissolves, and spindle fibers start to form from the centrosomes. Think of it as the cell getting prepped for division.

Prophase is when the chromosomes condense and look like little Xs. The nuclear envelope also breaks down during this phase.
Ah, prophase! It's when the magic begins. The chromosomes condense and become visible under a microscope, the nuclear envelope starts to break down, and the mitotic spindle begins to form. It's like the cell's version of getting ready for a night out!
I remember this from bio class: Prophase is all about the chromosomes getting thick and visible, the nuclear envelope disappearing, and spindle apparatus forming鈥攑retty much the cell's prep phase for mitosis.
