Interphase, when they duplicate
Doubled chromosomes first become visible in the prophase stage of mitosis. This is when the chromosomes condense and become distinct structures that can be seen under a microscope.

prophase
The phase of mitosis where the chromatin fibers duplicate and condense into visible chromosomes is Interphase. Interphase is the first stage of the cell cycle.
Chromosomes become visible in the nucleus of a cell during cell division, specifically during the prophase stage of mitosis or meiosis when the DNA condenses and coils tightly. This allows the chromosomes to be distinguished under a microscope.
Interphase and Telophase
Prophrase
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.

prophase
Chromosomes are not visible during the interphase stage of the cell cycle when they are in their less condensed form. Additionally, chromosomes may not be visible if the cell is not actively dividing or if they are not stained for observation under a microscope.
The first stage of mitosis is prophase. During prophase, chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear envelope breaks down, and the spindle fibers begin to form.
The first phase of mitosis is called prophase. During prophase, the genetic material condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear membrane breaks down, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
During Interphase the DNA is not in the form of chromosomes. It is not until Prophase that it condenses and chromosomes become visible.
During the second part of stage one in mitosis, known as prophase, the nuclear envelope breaks down, the chromosomes condense and become visible, and the mitotic spindle starts to form. This stage prepares the cell for division by ensuring that the chromosomes are properly aligned and ready to be distributed to the daughter cells.
