Which of the following events does NOT occur during Prophase?
Understand the Problem
This is a multiple-choice question about the events that occur during the prophase stage of mitosis. The question asks us to identify which of the listed events does not take place during prophase.
Answer
Chromosome replication does not occur during prophase.
The event that does not occur during prophase is chromosome replication.
Answer for screen readers
The event that does not occur during prophase is chromosome replication.
More Information
During prophase, the nuclear envelope breaks down, chromatin condenses into chromosomes, and the spindle apparatus forms. Chromosome replication occurs during the S phase of interphase, which precedes prophase.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing the events of prophase with those of interphase, particularly the S phase where DNA replication occurs.
