5. Chromosomes condense at the start of mitosis.  During the Gap (G1) stage of the cell cycle, DNA is loose and piled up like spaghetti.  DNA is spread out because the cell needs to use DNA to make proteins.  In order for cells to divide, they need neat, compact packages of DNA that can be split easily into two different nuclei.  Study Figure 2.2 on page 131. (you don’t have to write all this down.) Discuss with your table partner, “How does a giant string of DNA end up packed into a small package?”
