During interphase, chromosomes are not visible as distinct structures. Instead, the DNA is in the form of chromatin, a less condensed state where individual chromosomes cannot be seen.
In the early stages of mitosis or meiosis (cell division), the chromatin strands become more and more condensed. They cease to function as accessible genetic material (transcription stops) and become a compact transportable form. This compact form makes the individual chromosomes visible, and they form the classic four arm structure, a pair of sister chromatids attached to each other at the centromere. The shorter arms are called p arms (from the French petit, small) and the longer arms are called q arms (q follows p in the Latin alphabet). This is the only natural context in which individual chromosomes are visible with an optical microscope.
Chromosomes in onion cells are typically longer and have visible constrictions called centromeres, giving a beaded appearance. On the other hand, whitefish chromosomes are usually shorter and more rod-shaped without distinct centromeres. Additionally, onion chromosomes are usually larger in size compared to whitefish chromosomes.
=In this stage the nuclear envelope breaks down so there is no longer a recognizable nucleus. Some mitotic spindle fibers elongate from the centrosomes and attach to kinetochores, protein bundles at the centromere region on the chromosomes where sister chromatids are joined. Other spindle fibers elongate but instead of attaching to chromosomes, overlap each other at the cell center.=
The nuclear membrane and nucleolus (these had disappeared during prophase). They had originally disappeared during prophase because the chromatin condensed into chromatids and then coiled into chromosomes and needed to seperate. They reappear during telophase because the chromatid uncoils again to form chromatin. This means that the cell no longer needs to seperate so it can reform the membrane and nucleolus.

Yes
After the centromeres divide and the sister chromatids separate during mitosis, each chromatid is referred to as a daughter chromosome. At this stage, the daughter chromosomes are distinct and no longer considered sister chromatids, as they are now individual chromosomes that will move to opposite poles of the cell during anaphase.
All visible wavelengths are longer than the wavelength of ultraviolet.
Infrared has a longer wavelength, and a lower frequency, than visible light.
Visible light is made of rays. There are rays with wavelengths that are shorter than visible light and other with longer wavelength.
yes, but they will be more visible, wose and stay longer (up to 20 yrs)
After neutering, a cat's testicles are typically removed during the surgery, so they will no longer be visible.
Light energy with wavelengths longer than visible red is infrared light.

It's visible that the dog wants more food. With all the fog surrounding, the road was no longer visible. It was very visible that she was disappointed.
