They are visible during mitosis. During Prophase the DNA is compacted into Chromosomes while the intermediate filaments that make up the Nuclear Envelope are phosphorylated and it falls apart. Leaving behind the chromosomes, very easy to see throughout prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (Until the nucleus reforms in both daughter cells and the chromosomes de-condense). Chromosomes are easy to see by definition, their name in greek literally means colored bodies, this mostly because the guy that saw them first had no idea what they were.

They are visible in both methods.They are visible in prophase

∙ 6y agothe chromosomes are somewhat less condensed and are not visible as individual objects under the light microscope.

What happens to the chromosomes near the end of the process of mitosis?
Mitosis is the process of cell division in which the chromosomes condense and the spindle is assembled. In each phase the chromosomes do different things: prophase: during this first phase of mitosis, the parent chromosomes become compacted and the spindle begins to form creating an X-shape when looked at through a microscope; prometaphase: the nuclear membrane becomes many small vesicles during this phase. The spindle microtubules reach out until they connect the chromosomes to their kinetochore and then a sort of "tug-of-war" happens while the chromosomes bounce between the two poles; metaphase: the chromosomes align along the equator of the cell as they become connected to the spindle poles; anaphase: the chromosomes work their way into becoming individual/independent chromosomes as they begin to find their place near the poles; and telophase: the chromosomes find their poles, the spindle disbands, and each chromosome gets its new nuclear membrane.
What stage during the cell cycle are organelles and chromosomes copied?
i think its telophase
What is the function of the centriole pair?
It organizes the microtubules in mitosis. The microtubules move the chromosomes around the cell during mitosis, most importantly lining the chromosomes up at the metaphase plate in metaphase so that they can split up into the two daughter cells.
What event occurs during metaphase?
The chromosomes attach to a spindle fiber across the equator of the cell.
What occurs in mitosis that gives the new cell identical DNA?
There are several things that occur in mitosis that gives the new cell identical DNA. The chromosomes have to be doubled first and then division of the nucleus takes place to make new identical cells.
Chromosomes first become visible during which phase of mitosis?
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.
When during the cell cycle are chromotomes visible?
During Interphase.......NO During Mitosis........YES * assuming you mean visible through a microscope
What is one of the two strands of a chromosomes that become visible during meiosis or mitosis?
daughter strands
The phase of mitosis during which chromosomes become visible and the centrioles seperate from one another is?
Prophase
When does a chromosome first become visible in mitosis?
During the Prophase. :)Chromosomes become highly condensed.They are visible to light microscope,not naked eye
The phase of mitosis during wich chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate from one another is?
Prophase.
When does DNA become visible?
DNA is never visible to a naked eye but you can see chromosomes filled with DNA in mitosis during prophase.
In what phase does chromosomes condense and become visible?
The chromosomes in a cell's nucleus are only visible during the part of the cell cycle known as prophase. Prophase is the stage of mitosis in which chromatin condensation occurs.
When do chromosomes become visible in the nucleus of a cell?
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.
Are dyads visible during mitosis?
Yes, with a microscope. During mitosis, the chromatins condense to form chromosomes, which are visible under a microscope.
When choromosomes are visible in the nucleus?
Chromosomes are visible in the cell nucleus during mitosis and meiosis.
The arrangement of microtubules that become visible during mitosis and that separate the chromosomes into equal groups is called the?
the answer is spindle (or spindle fibers)
