Question

Mention the stages of Mitosis with the help of diagrams. Explain the changes that takes place in Prophase.

Answer 1

The diagram represents the type of cell division mitosis. There are four phases of mitosis. In the interphase, there is the duplication of the genetic material. The prophase is the first phase of mitosis, followed by metaphase, anaphase and telophase.

The chromatin fibres start to condense in the early prophase forming the chromosomes. The nucleolus and the nuclear membrane disappears. There is the orientation of the centrioles in the opposite poles. The mitotic spindle formation starts in the late prophase.
