No, chromosomes are not always visible in a cell. They are only visible during cell division when they condense into distinct structures that can be visualized under a microscope. Outside of cell division, chromosomes exist in a less condensed form and are not readily visible.


What can you infer about a cell whose chromosomes are not visible?

If chromosomes are not visible, it could mean that the cell is not undergoing cell division, as chromosomes are condensed and visible during that process. Alternatively, it could indicate that the cell is in a phase where the chromosomes are not easily distinguishable, such as during interphase. Further investigation or staining techniques may be needed to visualize the chromosomes.


What are only visible when a cell is preparing to divide?
