What happen to to chromosome in prophase

In prophase of mitosis or meiosis, the chromosomes condense, becoming shorter and thicker. This makes them more visible under a microscope. The nuclear envelope also breaks down, allowing the chromosomes to move more freely within the cell. Additionally, the chromosomes actively pair up with their homologous partner in meiosis. Overall, in prophase, the chromosomes undergo significant changes in preparation for cell division.
