In which mitotic phase do the chromosomes condense and does the mitotic spindle begin to form?

The chromosomes condense and  the mitotic spindle begin to form in the Prophase.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a phenomenon in which a parent cell copies itself to form identical, two new daughter cells. Generally, the process of mitosis can be divided into 5 phases:

Interphase

Prophase

Metaphase

Anaphase

Telophase

The process of cell division starts from the prophase. In this phase, the duplicated parent cells condense. The mitotic spindle, which functions to separate the sister chromatids, also forms during the prophase of the mitotic cycle.

a. decomposes use carbon from dead organisms as fuel for cellular respiration, returning carbon dioxide back into the atmosphere.

the transfer for conduction is the heat transfering from the liquid to the spoon

the transfer for convection is the heat rising from the liquid to the air

the transfer for radiation is the heat going through the sides of the cup and to the air

at least that is what i would do
