Yes, chromosomes become visible and appear shorter during the process of cell division. This is because they condense and coil up tightly in order to be more manageable during cell division. As a result, they become visible under a microscope as distinct structures.

When are Chromosomes not visible?
In interphase the chromosomes are not yet visible but become visible in prophase
When chromosomes are visible?
Chromosomes are visible during prophase. Chromosomes are only visible in cells during the cell division because the DNA and protein that the chromosomes are made of are spread throughout the nucleus.
In which phase do the chromosomes coil and become short and thick?
Prophase is inside the nucleus the chromosomes get short and thick and as they coil up become visible as pairs attached by the centromere. The centromere is joined to special proteins to from the kinetochore.
Why do chromosomes become more visible during prophase?
Because the chromosomes seem to shorten and thicken prior to dividing, this makes them more visible.
What are only visible when a cell is preparing to divide?
When a cell is preparing to divide, the chromosomes coil so that they become visible.
When are Chromosomes not visible?
In interphase the chromosomes are not yet visible but become visible in prophase
Which phase do chromosomes first become visible?
Interphase as they become decondenced
When chromosomes are visible?
Chromosomes are visible during prophase. Chromosomes are only visible in cells during the cell division because the DNA and protein that the chromosomes are made of are spread throughout the nucleus.
What phase do chromosomes become less visible?
Interphase as they become decondenced
What its called when chromosomes become visible?
It is called prophase
Doubled chromosomes first become visile in which step of mitosis?
double chromosomes first become visible in which step of mitosis?
At what stage do chromosomes coil up and become visible?
prophase
Chromosomes first become visible during?
metaphase
What phases are chromosomes not visible?
Interphase and Telophase
In which phase do the chromosomes coil and become short and thick?
Prophase is inside the nucleus the chromosomes get short and thick and as they coil up become visible as pairs attached by the centromere. The centromere is joined to special proteins to from the kinetochore.
When during the cell cycle are chromotomes visible?
During Interphase.......NO During Mitosis........YES * assuming you mean visible through a microscope
Why do chromosomes become more visible during prophase?
Because the chromosomes seem to shorten and thicken prior to dividing, this makes them more visible.
