The completion of prophase of mitosis is marked by the following characteristic events except:
1. Chromosomal material condenses to form compact mitotic chromosomes.
2. Chromosomes are seen to be composed of two chromatids attached together at the centromere.
3. Centrosome undergoes duplication during prophase.
4. Each centrosome radiates out microtubules called asters.
