Describe the events that characterize each stage of mitosis.

Question

Accepted Answer

Hey, everyone. Let's take a look at this question together. Which phase of mitosis during cell division involves the formation of spindles chromosome shortening and thickening. So let's recall what we've learned about the different phases of mitosis. Figure out which of the following involves that formation of spindles, the chromosome shortening and thickening, starting off with answer choice A we see meta phase which we know we've learned that in meta phase, Mr Chrome, it'd a line at the middle of the cell, I attaching their central mirrors to the kindle fibers. And we know that in answer choice B and A phase sister chroma tides our old apart two opposite both of the felt. And we know that in answer choice C interphase, that is when the cell grows by increasing its size and it is duplicating the genetic material. And lastly, we know that pro phase involves the nucleus disappearing as well as the spindle fibers orm and the D N A condenses into chromosomes. And so looking at our answer choices and knowing what happens in each phase of mitosis, which one involves the formation of the spindles, the chromosomes shortening and thickening. Well, we know that in pro phase, the spindle fibers form and the DNA condenses into the chromosomes. So therefore, answer choice D pro phase is the correct answer because pro phase is the phase of mitosis during cell division that involves the formation of the spindle fibers and the chromosome shortening and thickening. Answer. Choice D is the correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye.
