Chromatins are coiled to form chromosomes, which gives a thicker, more condensed look.

Why do the chromosomes become easier to see under the microscope just before mitosis?
during mitosis and meiosis because the condensed chromosomes are thicker and therefore more prominent.
What makes the chromosomes become visible during prophase?
When pro phase begins, the DNA molecules are progressively shortened and condensed by coiling, to form visible chromosomes.
Why chromosome observed in prophase but not in interphase?
during prohase the condensed chromosomes become attached to fibers in the spindle at a point near the centromere of each chromatin
What phase does chromosomes first appear to be double?
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.
What stage does chromatin condense to chromosomes?
During mitosis, chromosomes are in their most condensed form during metaphase

When do condensed chromosomes move around the cell in mitosis?
during metaphase and anaphase
Why are the chromosomes not condensed during all stages of mitosis?
When replicating or during transcription, DNA needs to uncoil in order to give the proper code. When the chromosomes are condensed, it cannot uncoil itself to give any sort of message. In order for the cell to remain functional, it must be able to code DNA.

Can chromosomes be seen during mitosis?
Yes, as they are at their most condensed going through mitosis. Seen with a microscope, that is!
What stage does chromatin condense to chromosomes?
During mitosis, chromosomes are in their most condensed form during metaphase
What happens to chromosomes during telophase?
By the time the cell is in telophase, the chromosomes have already replicated, condensed, lined up, and migrated to their poles. During telophase the chromosomes are separating as far apart as possible preparing the cell for cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm).
Why cant you see the chromosomes during interphase?
In interphase, the DNA has just replicated and exists as loosely coiled chromatins. They have not yet condensed enough to be the form of a chromosome. In the next stage, prophase, the DNA will shorten and condense into the easily recognizable chromosome structure.
What is it called when DNA is scrunched up in dividing cells?
Chromatin, if "scrunched up" refers to uncoiled. It is chromosomes not chromatin
Do sister chromatids become individual chromosomes during mitosis?
Yes. Sister chromatids separate and become individual chromosomes during anaphase.
