Mitosis - Answer-Cell division includes division of the nucleus material, which is
__________
the first stage of cell division, before metaphase, during which the chromosomes
become visible as paired chromatids and the nuclear envelope disappears. The first
prophase of meiosis includes the reduction division - Answer-Describe Prophase:

There are two clusters
of chromosomes, which decondense. - Answer-Describe Telophase:
Early - Answer-In __________ prophase, mitosis begins
