In Which Phase Is the Nuclear Envelope Absent?
The nucleus during mitosis. Micrographs illustrating the progressive stages of mitosis in a plant cell. During prophase, the chromosomes condense, the nucleolus disappears, and the nuclear envelope breaks down.

.

Also, is the phase where the nuclear envelope reappears?

During prophase, the nucleus disappears, spindle fibers form, and DNA condenses into chromosomes ( sister chromatids ). During telophase, chromosomes arrive at opposite poles and unwind into thin strands of DNA, the spindle fibers disappear, and the nuclear membrane reappears.

One may also ask, what happens to the nuclear envelope in metaphase? The nuclear envelope does not disappear in metaphase of mitosis, because it already did in prophase. The nuclear envelope needs to be broken apart so that the chromosomes can be found, aligned in the middle of the cell, and then pulled apart.

Subsequently, one may also ask, during which phase of mitosis does the nuclear envelope re form?

telophase

What is found in the nuclear envelope?

The nuclear envelope, also known as the nuclear membrane, is made up of two lipid bilayer membranes which in eukaryotic cells surrounds the nucleus, which encases the genetic material. The nuclear envelope consists of two lipid bilayer membranes, an inner nuclear membrane, and an outer nuclear membrane.
