 * Prophase- Whitefish Mitosis



// **// **Prophase- Onion Mitosis** // Kate Hamamoto, Kc Lee, Karelen Takara, Brittany Yeh //** Prophase is the first stage of mitosis. During this stage, the chromatin fibers have condensed and are thicker in the nucleus. This makes the chromatin more visible. Also, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes, making the DNA easier to duplicate. Now, each chromatin consists of a pair of sister chromatids joined at the centromere. The nucleolus disappears and the cell stops making ribosomes. Later in the process, the nuclear envelope breaks down. Meanwhile, the mitotic spindle forms. The chromatids now attach to the microtubules that make up the spindle. The spindle starts tugging the chromosomes towards the center of the cell.**//
