Question 16
16.
What occurs to the chromosomes during prophase of mitosis?
They condense
They disappear completely from view.
They divide into two identical sets.

Question 17
17.
What happens to the nuclear envelope/membrane in prophase?
It breaks down and disappears completely.
It remains unchanged during prophase.
It thickens and strengthens.
