Chromosomes condense and form during the prophase stage of mitosis. This is when the chromatin fibers in the nucleus tighten and become visible as distinct structures through a microscope.
DNA condenses into chromosomes during the prophase stage of cell division.
The phase of mitosis where the chromatin fibers duplicate and condense into visible chromosomes is Interphase. Interphase is the first stage of the cell cycle.
DNA condenses into chromosomes during the prophase stage of the cell cycle.
Interphase as they become decondenced
These terms represent stages in the cell cycle. Interphase is the phase where the cell grows and replicates its DNA. Prophase is when the chromosomes condense, and the nuclear envelope breaks down. Metaphase is when the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. Anaphase is when the sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles. Telophase is the phase where new nuclear envelopes form around the chromosomes. Cytokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm to form two new daughter cells.
