Question

a
the cell begins to separate into two new cells.
b
the chromosomes in the cell begin to move.
c
the nuclear envelope breaks down.
d
the cell duplicates its genetic material.

Answer 1

During prophase, the correct statement is:

c the nuclear envelope breaks down.

Prophase is the first stage of mitosis, where chromosomes condense and become visible, the nuclear envelope disintegrates, and the mitotic spindle begins to form. Options a, b, and d do not accurately describe processes that occur in prophase.
