Hello there!

When a cell is lysed, all the contents of the cell are released outside, including the genomic DNA from the nucleus.

This purely depends on the number of cells you have lysed and how large the genome is. If you have a lysed lot of cells, you can somewhat see the DNA with a stringy appearance. Hoping that you did not let anything from the cytoplasm or from your gloves destroy it, you can use chilled ethanol to forcefully precipitate it. In that way, you will get to see it turn into a dense, white, stringy mass on the top of the solution.

Although, if you have to extract DNA, you will need to use professional ab kits meant for this process, for example, QIAGEN and New England Biolabs make such kits which are meant for experimental lab use and they come with specific instructions on how to use it.

I know it is a bit lengthy but I hope this answered your question 😄

When does DNA become visible?

DNA is never visible to a naked eye but you can see chromosomes filled with DNA in mitosis during 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.


Where can you find dna in a prokaryote?

A prokaryotic cell has no membrane-bounded organelles. So the DNA in a prokaryote is visible throughout the cell.


When is the genetic material visible in a cell?

DNA is visible during mitosis (replication) when the chromosomes condense.


How do you tell when a cell is undergoing division?

Are chromosomes always visible in a eukaryote cell?

In a normal eukaryotic cell which is not actively dividing, chromosomes are not visible. The DNA is loosely coiled, dispersed through the nucleoplasm. However, during cell division, the DNA condenses into ordered structures called chromosomes, which are visible under the microscope.


What are chromosomeswhere and when they are visible in the cell?

Chromosomes contain tightly-packed DNA, and are visible only when the cell is preparing to replicate (before mitosis/meiosis).


What is role of CTAB - NaCl?

Often used to purified crude cell lysate by precipitating proteins, lipids and polysaccarides out of solution. This leaves only nucleic acid (DNA, RNA) in the supernatant.
