Question

which step of mitosis involves the condensing of dna into chromosomes?
metaphase
prophase
anaphase
telophase

Explanation:

• Mitosis has four main stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
• In prophase, chromatin (loose DNA) condenses into visible chromosomes.
• Metaphase is when chromosomes align at the cell's equator.
• Anaphase involves sister chromatids separating and moving to opposite poles.
• Telophase is the stage where new nuclear envelopes form around the separated chromosomes and chromosomes de - condense.

Answer:

prophase
