What else can I help you with?
Where would you be able to see chromosomes during the cell cycle?
Chromosomes can be observed during the cell cycle primarily during the stages of mitosis and meiosis, specifically in prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. In these stages, chromosomes condense and become distinctly visible under a light microscope. Outside of these stages, during interphase, chromosomes are less visible as they are in a more relaxed, uncoiled state known as chromatin. However, they are still present and replicating during the S phase of interphase.
Can you see chromosomes with a light microscope during cell cycle?
NO light microscope can not magnify the image to see chromosomes. You can see with fluorescence microscopes to observe them during cell cycle. Light microscope is helpful to check the whole living cell.
You wont see chromosomes in this longest stage of the cell cycle?
During Interphase the DNA is not in the form of chromosomes. It is not until Prophase that it condenses and chromosomes become visible.
What substance can be see when the cell divide under light microscope?
DNA in the form of chromosomes and sister chromatids (which are identical replicated chromosomes).
Why are chromosomes visible during cell division?
Chromosomes become visible during cell division because they condense and coil up, which makes them more compact and easier to separate into daughter cells. This condensed form helps ensure equal distribution of genetic material to the new cells.
Why arent chromosomes always visible?
Chromosomes are not always visible because they are usually tightly packed and condensed into a structure called chromatin during most phases of the cell cycle. It is only during cell division when chromosomes become highly condensed and visible under a microscope.
What phase of the cell are these cells in?
The five cell cycles are: Telophase (Cell wall pinches in, nuclear membranes are formed, two daughter cells are produced.) Interphase (You can cell the nucleolus, you can see uncoiled chromatin, you cannot see chromosomes.) Prophase (Chromatin uncoils, chromosomes appear, chromosomes duplicate to form sister chromatids, spindle forms between centrioles.) Metaphase (Chromosomes move to the middle of spindles.) Anaphase (Sister chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of cell, each chromatid is now a chromosome.)
What allows one to see chromosomes?
Microscopes coupled with techniques used to separate them from inside the cell.
In what part of the cell cycle will you see chromatin and not chromosomes?
telophase. in this phase the chromosome disperse and you can't see the chromosome anymore throught the light microscope.
What does a diploid look like?
A diploid cell contains two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent. In humans, a diploid cell has 46 chromosomes organized into 23 pairs. This is in contrast to a haploid cell, which has only one set of chromosomes.
What phase of the cell cycles are these cells in?
The five cell cycles are: Telophase (Cell wall pinches in, nuclear membranes are formed, two daughter cells are produced.) Interphase (You can cell the nucleolus, you can see uncoiled chromatin, you cannot see chromosomes.) Prophase (Chromatin uncoils, chromosomes appear, chromosomes duplicate to form sister chromatids, spindle forms between centrioles.) Metaphase (Chromosomes move to the middle of spindles.) Anaphase (Sister chromatids are pulled to opposite sides of cell, each chromatid is now a chromosome.)
What stain do you use to see banding patterns in chromosomes?
Giemsa is the most common stain used to see banding patterns in chromosomes
