During Prophase chromosomes condense, and mitotic spindle form, chromosomes are copied, and the nuclear membrane disappears, spindle fibres pull the sister chromatids apart.
Explanation:
Prophase is divided into 2 sub-phases as early Prophase and late prophase.
Early Prophase:
In early prophase distinct thick chromosome like structures, Centrioles move to the opposite poles and, nuclear membrane disappears
By late prophase:
Astral rays and spindle fibres are formed. Spindle fibres attach to the chromosome. Contractions occur in the attachment and sister chromatids are pull apart towards the equator.
Metaphase will follow the prophase.
Answer:
We don't know.
Explanation:
We need more to answer this.
This family trait that skips a generation comes from an autosomal recessive trait or as Mendel called as hidden non-dominant trait. Offsprings have a dominant and recessive trait which comes from both parents. Recessive trait appears only when two offspring with same recessive trait blends. This happens in self-fertilization. In the human population, marriage is prohibited between offsprings, thus having recessive trait is only imminent when cousins are married.
Random fertilization allows random combination of genetic information, which helps synthesize genetically unique gametes. The fusion of a unique sperm together with a unique egg can introduce further variation.
