Which of the following is NOT something that occurs in Prophase I?

Question

The DNA coils up into chromosomes.

The chromosomes will line up in the middle.

The nucleolus will disappear.

Spindle fibers will appear.

Answer 1

The statement that is NOT something that occurs in Prophase I is:

The chromosomes will line up in the middle.

In Prophase I of meiosis, chromosomes do condense and coil, the nucleolus disappears, and spindle fibers begin to form. However, the lining up of chromosomes in the middle (also known as the equatorial plane) occurs in Metaphase I, not Prophase I.
