Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prophase is characterized by chromosomes condensing and becoming visible under a light microscope, and the formation of the mitotic spindle.

Answer: C
 During prophase, the duplicated chromosomes move to opposite sides of the cell, preparing for cell division.

Answer: I
 Some eukaryotic cells have chromosomes that occur in pairs, called homologous chromosomes, which separate and move to opposite poles during spindle formation.

Answer: G
 The mitotic spindle is formed during the prophase stage of mitosis, and helps to separate the replicated chromosomes.

Answer: H
 Chromosomes are made up of two identical copies called chromatids. In prophase, each chromatid is half of the chromosome, and each half will be pulled to opposite poles during cell division.

(Note: Options A, B, E, and F do not accurately describe the prophase stage of mitosis.)
