When are Chromosomes not visible?
Chromosomes are not visible during the interphase stage of the cell cycle when they are in their less condensed form. Additionally, chromosomes may not be visible if the cell is not actively dividing or if they are not stained for observation under a microscope.
Chromosomes are clearly visible only when a cell is?
Chromosomes are clearly visible only when a cell is undergoing cell division, specifically during the metaphase stage of mitosis or meiosis. During this stage, chromosomes condense and become visible under a microscope.
What is it when chromosomes are first visible?
during prophase
When choromosomes are visible in the nucleus?
Chromosomes are visible in the cell nucleus during mitosis and meiosis.
Why do chromosomes become more visible during prophase?
During prophase, chromosomes condense and become more visible because they coil tightly to form shorter and thicker structures. This condensation helps prevent tangling and facilitates the movement of chromosomes during cell division. Additionally, the condensation of chromosomes helps ensure that each daughter cell will receive the correct number and type of chromosomes.
