Question

Chromosomes are not visible. Is this an example of Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, or Telophase?

Answer 1

Chromosomes are not visible during Interphase. During this stage, the genetic material is in the form of chromatin, which is less tightly coiled and not condensed into distinct chromosomes. In contrast, chromosomes become visible during the later phases of cell division (Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase), when they condense and can be clearly seen under a microscope.
