Question 13.
The completion of prophase is marked by the following characteristic events :

Chromosomal material condenses to form compact mitotic chromosomes. They are seen to be composed of two chromatids attached together at the centromere. Centrosome which had undergone duplication during interphase, begins to move towards opposite poles of the cell. They radiate out microtubules called asters. The two asters together with spindle fibres form mitotic apparatus. Cells at the end of prophase do not show Golgi complexes, endoplasmic reticulum, nucleolus and the nuclear envelope.
