Question

What is the outcome of condensation in animal cells?

Answer 1

Condensation:

1. Condensation is reorganizing of chromatin strands into compact short chromosomes.
2. Condensation of chromosomes occurs in meiosis and mitosis.

Condensation in animal cell:

1. Early prophase condensation results in the creation of a rod-like, thick chromosome in which the two sisters are less visible.
2. Because resolution and condensation occur at the same time in metaphase and prometaphase.
3. The chromosomes finally become separate and compact sister chromatids that are mostly linked at their centromeres.
4. The majority of cohesin complexes are lost from the sister chromatid arms during these phases, which are typically fully identifiable by the time cells reach metaphase.
