Why does nucleolus disappear during cell division

The nuclear membrane and nucleolus both disappear during prophase of mitosis and meiosis. The nucleolus is a region of the interphase nucleus containing many of the genes that code for ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs). ... During prophase the chromosomes separate from one another, and so the nucleolus disappears.
