You can an electrophoresis gel and then stain the gel using a solution such as coomassie blue to make the bands visible. Alternatively, you can stain a cell containing DNA by using acridine orange. It is necessary to observe these under an electron light microscope.

What is done to the DNA to make the bands visible in gel electrophoresis?

In gel electrophoresis, DNA is treated with a dye that binds to the DNA molecules, making them visible as bands under ultraviolet light.


What step was necessary to make the DNA visible?

The DNA needed to be stained with a dye, such as ethidium bromide or SYBR Green, that binds to the DNA molecules and fluoresces under ultraviolet light. This allows the DNA to become visible when viewed under a UV transilluminator or gel documentation system.


When the cell is preparing to divide the material that thickens and becomes the chromosomes is what material?

Its not exactly that there's a material that thickens and becomes chromosomes as much as that the Chromatin (DNA) gets wrapped around certain proteins (Histones), which condenses it, and makes it visible in the form of Chromosomes (long strands of DNA that have been wrapped tight enough around proteins that they are visible),So the answer you're looking for is either chromatin or DNA (i think that's what you meant by your question)


What is DNA molecule a microscopic macroscopic or particulate?

DNA is a microscopic molecule, as it is composed of nucleotides that are too small to be seen with the naked eye. DNA is further organized into chromosomes that are visible under a microscope.


What happens to the DNA in prophase of the cell cycle?

During prophase of the cell cycle, the DNA condenses and coils tightly to form visible chromosomes. This process helps to organize and prepare the DNA for cell division.

What makes up a nucleas?

A cell nucleus contains DNA and at least one nucleolus. During interphase, the DNA is in the form of chromatin, in which the individual chromosomes are not visible. While the cell is actively undergoing mitosis, the nuclear membrane disassembles and the DNA is visible as chromosomes and the nucleolus disassembles. Once mitosis is finished, the cell cytoplasm divides, and the nucleus and nucleolus reform, and the two new cells return to interphase, and the DNA is once again in the form of chromatin.

What phase does DNA is all spread out as chromatin and nuclear membrane is visible?

The phase where DNA is spread out as chromatin and the nuclear membrane is visible is the interphase. This is the period when the cell is not actively dividing, but preparing for division by duplicating its DNA and organelles.
