You look in a microscope, you see a prominent nuclear membrane, you see the membrane, but you don't see chromosomes.
00:08
What are you likely viewing? interphase, telophase, metaphase, anaphase, or prophase.
00:16
So, interphase is the period of time, but is not mitosis, and all the others are stages of mitosis.
00:25
So in prophase, the first stage, we get the condensation of, the chromosomes.
00:33
So condensing chromosomes.
00:38
So during prophase, they'd become visible.
00:42
So through prophase, you would start to see them.
00:44
But we don't see them.
00:45
So it's not prophase, and it can't be metaphase, which comes after, because the chromosomes are still condensed.
00:53
It can't be an anaphase.
00:55
And again, in these points, the nuclear membrane has dissolved as well...
