During mitosis, chromosomes are in their most condensed form during metaphase
The chromosomes condense in prophase of mitosis. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mitosis#/media/File:Animal_cell_cycle-en.svg
Chromosomes condense and become thicker rod-like structures during the prophase stage of cell division, specifically during prophase I of meiosis and prophase of mitosis. This condensation is necessary for the chromosomes to be visible under a microscope and for proper segregation during cell division.
Prophase: Chromosomes condense and spindle fibers form. Metaphase: Chromosomes line up along the cell equator. Anaphase: Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite poles. Telophase: Chromosomes decondense, nuclear envelope reforms, and cleavage furrow forms.
No, chiasmata do not occur in mitosis. Chiasmata are structures that form during meiosis, specifically during prophase I, as a result of crossing over between homologous chromosomes. Mitosis does not involve homologous chromosomes pairing up and exchanging genetic material like in meiosis.
In prophase I of meiosis, crossing over of homologous chromosomes occurs. This does not happen in prophase of mitosis.

a. chromatids do not separate at the centromere in anaphase I. b. centromeres do not exist in anaphase I. c. crossing-over occurs only in anaphase of miitosis
During prophase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up and undergo crossing over, where segments of DNA are exchanged between them. This does not occur during prophase of mitosis, where homologous chromosomes do not pair up or undergo crossing over.
In meiosis, doubled chromosomes (homologous pairs) pair to form tetrads during prophase I. This allows for genetic recombination to occur between homologous chromosomes. In mitosis, chromosomes do not pair to form tetrads as there is no crossing over between homologous chromosomes.
Mitosis and meiosis are both processes involved in cell division. However, mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis results in four genetically different daughter cells. Both processes involve stages such as prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

cell. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.
The spindle is formed during the prophase stage of mitosis or meiosis. In prophase, microtubules organize into a structure called the spindle apparatus, which helps separate the chromosomes during cell division.
