As a cell prepares to divide the CHROMATIN will condense into visible structures called CHROMOSOMES.
Explanation:
During cell division, the newly formed daughter cells receive genetic information from the parent cells in the form of chromosomes. The genetic material in a non-dividing cell is present in the form of thin threads called chromatin. As the cells enter the process of cell division, chromatin undergoes the process of condensation. It results in the organization of tangled mass of chromatin into rod-shaped visible chromosomes. Each chromosome appears to have two sister chromatids that are held together by a centromere.
As the cycle progresses and moves towards ovulation, the endometrium grows thicker, up to about 11 mm. About 14 days into a person's cycle, hormones trigger the release of an egg. During this secretory phase, endometrial thickness is at its greatest and can reach 16 mm.
