1. While using a compound microscope, you observe a cell that is undergoing mitosis. You see double stranded chromosomes and a partial nuclear membrane. What phase is this cell in?
Prometaphase: The nuclear membrane dissolves, marking the beginning of prometaphase. The presence of chromosomes indicates that the chromatin have condensed and have gone through the prophase (the previous phase). Proteins attach to the centromeres creating the kinetochores. Microtubules attach at the kinetochores and ...
