During prophase I, the chromosomes condense and become visible inside the nucleus. Because each chromosome was duplicated during the S phase that occurred just before prophase I, each now consists ...

which is essential for DNA condensation. We have also argued that unlinking of the sister chromosomes during DNA replication is aided by removal of pre-catenanes that are forming directly at or just ...

Chromosomes begin to condense, taking on the form that they are usually depicted in: four arms connected at a point. Each chromosome is, at this time, actually two identical copies. Each copy is ...

Each replicated chromosome is made up of two identical strands called chromatids that are joined together. Each chromatid is a full length DNA molecule. The stages outlined in the following ...
