2
Q
what happens during the interphase
A
DNA chromosomes copy itself
3
Q
what happens during the prophase
A
DNA chromosomes and their copies condenses to become more visible and the membrane around the nucleus disappears
4

A
chromosomes and their copies are pulled together in the middle of the cell
6
