Prophase is the first part of mitosis when the chromatin fibers join to form chromosomes in the nucleus so that they would become visible in a microscope. When the chromatin condense into chromosomes, they make the make the DNA easier to replicate. Now there are 2 identical copies of each chromosome in the cell. Also the the 2 microtubules go to opposite poles of the cell and form spindles that slowly bring the chromosomes to the center of the cell. In the prophase stage, the nuclear envelope breaks apart and the nucleolus disappears. The cell also stops making ribosomes.
