The September 2012 rainfall total at Adelaide (Kent Town) was 21.8mm received on 12 rain days. This is very much below the long term average of 60.3 mm on 13 or more rain days, and results in the driest September in Adelaide since 2008 when only 16.0 mm was observed.
Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes during  prophase of mitosis, and during prophase I and prophase II of meiosis. Chromatin is a dense, complex fibrous structure composed of associated proteins and molecules of deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA, which contains the genetic material of an organism.
Thus, at this stage, the genetic material is often referred to as chromatin. From here, the cell goes through all other stages of mitosis. In prophase, the chromosomes start to coil, shorten, and become distinct. In animals, the centrioles begin to migrate to the poles of the cell. The mitotic spindle or polar fibers begin to form from the poles of the cell towards the equator.
