Assess these statements about the initial events of mitosis.
a. Mitosis is also called equational division because the chromosome number of progeny cells is the same as the parent cell.
b. Karyokinesis is the division of the cytoplasm.
c. Prophase is the first stage of karyokinesis and follows the G2 phase.
d. In prophase, the chromosomal material decondenses to become less distinct.
e. The centrosome, which duplicates during the S phase, begins to move to opposite poles during prophase.
f. The mitotic apparatus is formed by the asters and spindle fibres.
g. Chromosomes in prophase consist of two sister chromatids attached at a telomere.
