Want this question answered?
It is during the prophase in which chromosomes first appear to be duplex structures.Each cell in a person typically has 23 pairs of chromosomes.
during prophase
Interphase
Prophase is inside the nucleus the chromosomes get short and thick and as they coil up become visible as pairs attached by the centromere. The centromere is joined to special proteins to from the kinetochore.
technically the chromosomes copy during interphase right before metaphase I of meiosis I so during Meiosis I the chromosomes are duplicated and not until metaphase II during meiosis II are the sister chromatids separated.
During prophase, the first stage of mitosis, the chromosomes become visible as distinct structures. The nuclear envelope also now breaks down, and a spindle forms.
Interphase as they become decondenced
double chromosomes first become visible in which step of mitosis?
metaphase
Chromosomes first become visible during prophase of mitosis when they condense and coil up tightly. This allows them to be easily seen under a microscope as separate structures.
Interphase and Telophase
During the Prophase. :)Chromosomes become highly condensed.They are visible to light microscope,not naked eye
Duplicated chromosomes first become visible during prophase.

during prophase
Interphase, when they duplicate
probably Telophase
