Answer:

A Cation

Explanation:

When an element loses (or gives in) electrons in a chemical bond, the amount of protons overlaps the amount of electrons and it becomes an electrically positive system called a cation.

Cations may be monoatomic when formed by a single atom or polyatomic when formed by more than one atom.

In addition, the amount of electrons lost (or donated) indicates which type of cation is classified into monovalent (1+ charged), bivalent (2+ charged) or trivalent (3+ charged) cations.

Some examples of cations:

K⁺¹ (Potassium)
Zn⁺² (Zinc)
Al⁺³ (Aluminum)

Explanation:

Prophase is where the nuclear envelope breaks down and chromosomes condense and become visible. Metaphase is where the chromosomes align in the middle of the cell, which in prophase, the newly visible chromosomes are scattered amongst the cells.

Interphase is the resting state of the cell, where a cell spends most of it's life in. But while it's active, cellular organelles double in number, the DNA replicates, and protein synthesis occurs.
