Answer;

Chromatin

Step-by-step explanation;

  • Prophase is the first phase of mitosis, which a type of cell division that takes place in the somatic cells, that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.
  • During this stage the genetic material is called chromatin, which is the complex of DNA and proteins contained in the nucleus.
  • During prophase the chromatin is condensed and the chromosomes become more visible. DNA molecules are progressively shortened and condensed by coiling.
