Prophase, when the chromosomes are being condensed.
Homologous chromosomes pair up during the stage of cell division called meiosis, not mitosis.
Metaphase is the cell division stage in which chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell along the metaphase plate. This is a crucial step in mitosis and allows for the equal distribution of chromosomes to the daughter cells.
DNA condenses into chromosomes during the prophase stage of cell division.
Chromosomes coil up and become visible during the prophase stage of cell division. This coiling allows the chromosomes to become more condensed and easier to separate during cell division.
Metaphase is the stage of cell division when chromosomes align in one plane along the center of the cell. This alignment ensures that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes during cell division.
Homologous chromosomes pair up during the process of cell division in a stage called prophase I of meiosis.
Prophase is the first stage of any cell division (excluding interphase). This is the stage where a cell prepares it for upcoming cell division. Further properties can be found in books and elsewhere.
The stage is called telophase. During telophase, the nuclear membrane reforms around the separated chromosomes, forming two distinct nuclei in preparation for cell division.
Homologous chromosomes line up and pair with each other during the stage of cell division called meiosis.
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.
G2phase
Chromosomes can be seen in the metaphase stage of the cell cycle, when they align along the center of the cell prior to division.
