In eukaryotic cells, mitosis begins after chromosomes condense within which cell organelle/structure?
A
Rough endoplasmic reticulum
B
Mitochondrion
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Nucleus
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is the process of cell division where duplicated chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei.
Recall that chromosomes are made of DNA and proteins, and in eukaryotic cells, DNA is housed within the nucleus.
Recognize that before mitosis begins, chromosomes condense from a loose chromatin state into tightly packed structures to facilitate their segregation.
Identify that this condensation of chromosomes occurs inside the nucleus, which is the organelle that contains the cell's genetic material.
Conclude that mitosis begins after chromosomes condense within the nucleus, making it the correct answer among the options provided.
