G2phase
The chromosomes condense during prophase, the first stage of both mitosis and meiosis.
In the nondividing cell, DNA tends to be a loose collection of chromatin. In the run-up to cell division, the DNA will coil itself up into distinct chromosomes.
The chromosomes coil and become short and visible. (In animal cells) The centrioles migrate to opposite poles of the cell (the poles are themselves determined by the final position of the chromosomes.) At the end of prophase, the nucleolus and the nuclear envelope disappear.
They ARE specific coding sequences of 2'-Deoxy-Ribonucleic-Acid. Sweet Searching!
prophase
No, after telophase (a.k.a. during interphase) the chromosomes entangle as they replicate however it does again become possible for individual chromosomes to be distinguished in prophase as the chromosomes begin to 'coil up' or condense.
The chromosomes coil up and condense during prophase
The chromosomes condense during prophase, the first stage of both mitosis and meiosis.
Yes, chromosomes become visible and appear shorter during the process of cell division. This is because they condense and coil up tightly in order to be more manageable during cell division. As a result, they become visible under a microscope as distinct structures.
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.
Because the chromosomes seem to shorten and thicken prior to dividing, this makes them more visible.
golgy apparatus
When a cell is preparing to divide, the chromosomes coil so that they become visible.
During prophase, the chromatin fibers in the nucleus coil tightly and condense into observable chromosomes. The mitotic spindle then begins to form and the centrosomes move away from each other.
During prophase, chromatin threads condense,coil, shorten and thicken into chromatids, but how do the chromsomes of parent cells turn into the chromatin threads
