Interphase has 3 stages: G1, S, G2. The chromosomes are single-stranded in G1, replicate (double-stranded) in S, and prepares for mitosis (still double-stranded) in G2.
So the answer is: both single-stranded AND double stranded...depending on what stage of interphase you are interested in.
Yes, chromosomes duplicate during interphase in the cell cycle.
The individual chromosomes cannot be seen in interphase because they haven't been condensed yet. That's what happens during mitosis so that it is easier to seperate them into new daughter cells. While in interphase, its called chromatin.
During interphase, individual chromosomes are more difficult to see because they are in a less condensed state and are spread out within the nucleus. In contrast, during mitosis, the chromosomes are highly condensed and tightly packed, making them more visible under a microscope.
DNA is kept in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
No, chromosomes can also be seen in non-dividing cells during interphase under a microscope. In interphase, chromosomes are less condensed and appear as long, thin, thread-like structures within the nucleus. During cell division, chromosomes condense further to become more visible as distinct structures.
chromatin
The nucleus of a cell contains uncondensed chromosomes that have been duplicated. During the interphase of the cell cycle, before cell division, the chromosomes replicate and form sister chromatids that are still uncondensed and spread throughout the nucleus.
During interphase, chromosomes are in a relaxed and extended state called chromatin. This allows for gene expression and DNA replication to occur. Chromosomes are not distinguishable structures during interphase, as they are not condensed and visible as separate entities.
Synthesis occurs during Interphase. During Interphase, the genetic material is present as chromatin, a loosely bundled coil in the nucleus. The chromatin does not condense into chromosomes until Prophase. Thus, you would not see chromosomes during synthesis.

chromosomes
Chromosomes during interphase only have one chromatinFound this answer while doing a crossword for my bio 101 class, it fits in the space - if that helps your confidence in my answer

No . !
Chromosomes are duplicated during the S phase of the cell cycle, which occurs during interphase. This is when DNA replication takes place to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes during cell division.
