👉 The Started Fluid, also known as the Started Phase or the Initial Fluid Phase, is a critical stage in the early stages of cellular division, specifically during the prophase and metaphase of mitosis. It occurs when the cell's nuclear envelope begins to disintegrate, and the chromosomes start to condense and align at the cell's equatorial plate. This phase marks the beginning of the separation process, where the chromosomes will be pulled apart and distributed equally to the two daughter cells. The Started Fluid is characterized by the dynamic changes in the cell's cytoskeleton and the breakdown of nuclear membrane proteins, facilitating the orderly movement and segregation of genetic material.
