The nuclear membrane disappears primarily so that the chromosomes can move around the cell. This process occurs during cell division. Specifically, during mitosis, the nuclear envelope breaks down to allow the chromosomes, which have been replicated earlier in interphase, to align and separate properly into two daughter cells. The other options do not accurately describe the main reason for the nuclear membrane's disappearance.
WHY did the nuclear membrane disappear?
So that the cell can grow
So that the chromosomes can move around the cell
So that the DNA can duplicate itself
So that the chromosomes can coil up
