WHAT DOES PROPHASE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

prophase

Prophase

Prophase, from the ancient Greek πρό and φάσις, is a stage of mitosis in which the chromatin condenses into double rod-shaped structures called chromosomes in which the chromatin becomes visible. This process, called chromatin condensation, is involved with the condensin complex. Since the genetic material has been replicated in the prior interphase of the cell cycle, there are two identical copies of each chromosome in the cell. Those copies are called sister chromatids and they are attached to each other at a DNA element present on every chromosome called the centromere. Also during prophase, giemsa staining can be applied to elicit G-banding in chromosomes. An important organelle in mitosis is the centrosome, the microtubule organizing center in metazoans. During prophase, the two centrosomes, which replicate independently of mitosis, have their microtubule-activity increased due to the recruitment of γ-tubulin. The centrosomes will be pushed apart to opposite ends of the cell nucleus by the action of molecular motors acting on the microtubules. Basically, the chromatin in the nucleus coils into chromosomes.

Definition of prophase in the English dictionary

The definition of prophase in the dictionary is the first stage of meiosis, divided into leptotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis phases.
