The water molecule has the ability to form hydrogen bonds, between atoms of oxygen and hydrogen of different molecules (they can also be formed between atoms of hydrogen, phosphorus, and nitrogen, but in the case of water we refer only to hydrogen and oxygen). When this phenomenon occurs between molecules of the same species (one molecule of H2O with another molecule of H2O), it is called cohesion, which is the attraction that molecules have for others of the same type. In the case of water, cohesion occurs thanks to hydrogen bonds, and this union is very strong and difficult to break.

Which of the following describes prophase of mitosis?

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

Daughter chromosomes move toward opposite poles of the cell.

Explanation:

Prophase is the beginning of cell division. At this stage, the CHROMATIN from which the chromosomes are formed thickens and twists spirally and CHROMOSOMES are formed which become visible under a microscope.

CENTRIOLS are organelles whose main role is to form a dividing spindle during cell division, now they separate and move towards the poles of the cell.

When they reach the poles, the threads of the dividing spindle are formed between them. Chromosomes are attached to these threads.
