Prophase is the first stage in mitosis, occurring after the conclusion of the G2 portion of interphase. During prophase, the parent cell chromosomes â which were duplicated during S phase â condense and become thousands of times more compact than they were during interphase.
The growth phase of the cell cycle is called interphase. DNA replicates itself during interphase and thus is critical to the formation of two daughter nuclei. The process of replication which results in identical offspring is called mitosis, while variation in the offspring results from meiosis. The basic features of mitosis and meiosis are discussed in your text book.
