Solution

The stage of cell division in which the nuclear membrane disappears and the chromosomes become short and thick is called prophase.
The longest phase of cell division is prophase.
Coiling or spiralization organizes chromatin into separate chromosomes during this step.
The centrioles transform into asters and migrate towards the cell's opposite poles to establish the cell division plane.
The spindle apparatus appears.
Nuclear membrane and nucleolus dissolve and vanish.
The chromosomes are freed in cytoplasm.
