It is specific for the phosphate groups of DNA and attaches itself to regions of DNA where there are high amounts of adenine-thymine bonding. Giemsa stain is used in Giemsa banding, commonly called G-banding, to stain chromosomes and often used to create an idiogram. It can identify chromosomal aberrations such astranslocations and rearrangements.
When scientists first began to explore the internal structures of cells, the only technology available to them was light microscopy.
Here, the samples are affixed on to a glass slide and the light source passes through the sample and reaches the main lens of the microscope.
It became clear that in order to look at the internal structures, some staining is required. The light was passing right through the sample and nothing was visible without staining.
Histological sections are stained to enhance the visualization and differentiation of microscopic structures.
Two needs: one is to make them 'stand-out' from their background - or backdrop - ; and second is to make them distinguishable amongst themselves.
A karyotype is made by staining and arranging chromosomes so that they can be viewed microscopically.
Homologous Chromosomes
Those chromosomes having pairs of approximately the same length, centromere position, and staining pattern, with genes for the same characteristics at corresponding loci are known to be homologous chromosomes. One homologous chromosome is inherited from the organism's mother; the other from the organism's father. They are usually not identical, but carry the same type of information.
No. It is a staining on the cell itself.
Staining rack is used to hold many glass slides at a time. By putting slides on a staining rack, you can pour dye simultaneously and it will help to reduce extra dye or stain.

Leishman staining is used for staining blood in microscopy and its purpose is to both identify and differentiate trypanosomas, leucocytes and malaria parasites. Giesma staining is used to stain DNA region, specifically chromosomes in order to locate aberrations like rearrangement and translocations.

This sort of organized arrangement of chromosomal staining patterns is called a karyotype
The chromosomes condense during prophase, the first stage of both mitosis and meiosis.
Condensed chromatin
Q-banding: The pattern of bright and dim fluorescent crossbands seen on chromosomes under ultraviolet light after quinacrine mustard staining.
Staining allows you to better visualize the parts of the tissues.
