Chromosomes during interphase only have one chromatin

∙ 12y agoNo, during interphase the cell's DNA is still linear (in a double helix structure). It is only during mitosis (during the anaphase) in which the DNA condenses to form chromosomes with 2 chromatids each. When the DNA is replicated during the interphase, it is still linear and is not yet in the form of chromosomes and chromatids.

because the chromosomes are not uncoiled

What is the cell cycle stage where chromosomes duplicate?
DNA is replicated during interphase, and chromosomes form or condense during the prophase. So the genes and chromosomes are duplicated at the beginning of mitosis, during the interphase, although you can't see them as chromosomes until the prophase, before the cell splits.
Why cant you see the chromosomes during interphase?
In interphase, the DNA has just replicated and exists as loosely coiled chromatins. They have not yet condensed enough to be the form of a chromosome. In the next stage, prophase, the DNA will shorten and condense into the easily recognizable chromosome structure.
You wont see chromosomes in this longest stage of the cell cycle?
During Interphase the DNA is not in the form of chromosomes. It is not until Prophase that it condenses and chromosomes become visible.
Why do individual chromosomes more difficult to see during interphase than during mitosis?
During mitosis the fibers of each individual chromosome are drawn together, forming the tightly packed chromosomes that you can see through a microscope.

Cells nucleus during interphase?
DNA is always present in every stage of the cell cycle...reproducing it is the whole purpose of the cell cycle! In interphase, there are three phases: the cell grows (G1), duplicates each strand of DNA (S), and gets ready for mitosis (M). During the first part of interphase the chromosomes are long and thin, and single-stranded, making them very hard to see without a very powerful microscope. During the last 2 stages of interphase, the DNA is duplicated but is still long and thin. It is only in the prophase stage of mitosis that they are condensed enough to often be seen with a "normal" microscope on high power (400x) . By the end of mitosis, the doubled-chromosomes have been pulled apart and into opposite ends of the parent cell. When the cell has finished dividing, each "daughter cell" has the original number of single-stranded chromosomes. The chromosomes "uncoil", and the cell matures during G1 phase of interphase. Many people believe that DNA and/or Chromosomes (Chromosomes are made of DNA, remember.) are only present during mitosis. They just get fatter during mitosis by coiling tighter. Thus they are more easily seen. BUT.. just because you don't see them in interphase doesn't mean they aren't there!

Why are individual chromosomes more difficult to see during inter phase than during mitosis?
The individual chromosomes cannot be seen in interphase because they haven't been condensed yet. That's what happens during mitosis so that it is easier to seperate them into new daughter cells. While in interphase, its called chromatin.

Would you see chromosomes durin the synthesis phase of the cell cycle?
Synthesis occurs during Interphase. During Interphase, the genetic material is present as chromatin, a loosely bundled coil in the nucleus. The chromatin does not condense into chromosomes until Prophase. Thus, you would not see chromosomes during synthesis.
What cell process occurs during intephase?
in interphase you can clearly see the nucleus but you can't see the chromosomes yet. The chromosomes are actively duplicating themselves.
You wont see chromosomes in this longest stage of the cell cycle?
During Interphase the DNA is not in the form of chromosomes. It is not until Prophase that it condenses and chromosomes become visible.

When do chromosomes become visible during mitosis?
They are visible during mitosis. During Prophase the DNA is compacted into Chromosomes while the intermediate filaments that make up the Nuclear Envelope are phosphorylated and it falls apart. Leaving behind the chromosomes, very easy to see throughout prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (Until the nucleus reforms in both daughter cells and the chromosomes de-condense). Chromosomes are easy to see by definition, their name in greek literally means colored bodies, this mostly because the guy that saw them first had no idea what they were.
How do you describe each phase of mitosis?
Soon before interphase ends, the chromosomes duplicate. During prophase, the chromosomes line up in their pairs. Metaphase has the chromosomes centering to be split, while anaphase splits the chromosomes apart. Telophase forms the new nuclei, and finally divides the cell into two.
This nuclear structure may be visible during interphase?
actually its nucleolus The nuclear chromatin, first appearing as long threads that shorten and thicken before splitting lengthwise to become two new nuclei. NOOOOOOOOOO. That's mitosis. In interphase, you can't see the chromatin/chromosomes/etc. You can only see the nuclear envelope and nucleolus, which both disappear during mitosis.
During what cell can chromosomes be seen clearly?
In the early stages of mitosis or meiosis (cell division), the chromatin strands become more and more condensed. They cease to function as accessible genetic material (transcription stops) and become a compact transportable form. This compact form makes the individual chromosomes visible, and they form the classic four arm structure, a pair of sister chromatids attached to each other at the centromere. The shorter arms are called p arms (from the French petit, small) and the longer arms are called q arms (q follows p in the Latin alphabet). This is the only natural context in which individual chromosomes are visible with an optical microscope.
