Prophase is a stage of mitosis.
Explanation:
This is when the chromatin condenses into two rod shaped structures called chromosomes . The chromatids become visible at this stage.
There are two identical copies of each chromosome in the cell. These are called sister chromatids and are attached to each other at a DNA element called centromere.
During prophase the chromatin in the nucleus coils into chromosomes. The centrosomes move to opposite poles of the cell, forming a bridge of spindle fibres.. At the end of prophase , the nucleolus disperses.
