During which phase of mitosis do spindle fibers begin to form and chromatin condense?
A
Prophase
B
Telophase
C
Anaphase
D
Metaphase
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two daughter cells with identical genetic material.
Recall the phases of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
In prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, and the mitotic spindle begins to form from microtubules.
During metaphase, chromosomes align at the cell's equatorial plane, but spindle formation has already occurred.
Recognize that the formation of spindle fibers and chromatin condensation are key events that occur during prophase.
