this is because during the interphase, the cell is at a point where it has either completed its division or is about to start its division. here the chromosomes have not separated yet in preparation for the divisin and they so look alike that one cant differentiate a chromosome.
What else can I help you with?
It is not easy to observe individual chromosomes during interphase because?
the DNA has not been duplicated yet. they have uncoiled to form long, thin strands. they leave the nucleus and are scattered throughout the cell. homologous chromosomes do not pair up until division starts.
When do chromosomes become visible during mitosis?
They are visible during mitosis. During Prophase the DNA is compacted into Chromosomes while the intermediate filaments that make up the Nuclear Envelope are phosphorylated and it falls apart. Leaving behind the chromosomes, very easy to see throughout prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase (Until the nucleus reforms in both daughter cells and the chromosomes de-condense). Chromosomes are easy to see by definition, their name in greek literally means colored bodies, this mostly because the guy that saw them first had no idea what they were.
What happens to the chromosomes near the end of the process of mitosis?
Mitosis is the process of cell division in which the chromosomes condense and the spindle is assembled. In each phase the chromosomes do different things: prophase: during this first phase of mitosis, the parent chromosomes become compacted and the spindle begins to form creating an X-shape when looked at through a microscope; prometaphase: the nuclear membrane becomes many small vesicles during this phase. The spindle microtubules reach out until they connect the chromosomes to their kinetochore and then a sort of "tug-of-war" happens while the chromosomes bounce between the two poles; metaphase: the chromosomes align along the equator of the cell as they become connected to the spindle poles; anaphase: the chromosomes work their way into becoming individual/independent chromosomes as they begin to find their place near the poles; and telophase: the chromosomes find their poles, the spindle disbands, and each chromosome gets its new nuclear membrane.
What happens during meiosis that ultimately results in a defect characterized by the deletion of chromosomes?
Nondisjunction occurs in too many cells or too few cells causing defects
What stage during the cell cycle are organelles and chromosomes copied?
i think its telophase
T is not easy to observe individual chromosomes during the interphase because?
Only during the division stages of a cells life will chromosomes form. During Interphase the cells DNA is in the unorganized form of chromatin.
What happens to the size of the cell during interphrase?
They double in size
Why not easy to observe individual chromosomes during the interphase?
coz in interphase, the chromatin threads are not yet condensed into what is called as chromosomes. they are thread like structures, and make a network called chromatin network. chromatin threads only begin to condense into thicker structures called chromosomes once the process of cell division actually begins
How do you observe an individual to monitor changes and responses during a mobility activity?
observe an individual tp montor chandes and responces during a mobility activity
Do sister chromatids become individual chromosomes during mitosis?
Yes, sister chromatids separate and become individual chromosomes during mitosis. This process ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.
Which three phases are individual chromosomes no longer visible?
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.
Is it possible to distinguish individual chromosomes after telophase?
No, individual chromosomes cannot be distinguished after telophase as the nuclear envelope reforms around the separate sets of chromosomes, making it difficult to discern individual chromosomes without specialized techniques such as fluorescent tagging.
Why are individual chromosomes more difficult to see during inter phase than during mitosis?
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.
Why are chromosomes not visible during interphase?
During interphase, chromosomes are not visible because they are in a less condensed form called chromatin. Chromatin is spread out and not easily distinguishable as individual chromosomes under a microscope.
Why are individual chromosomes more difficult to see during interphase than during mitosis?
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.
During metaphase 2, do homologous chromosomes pair up?
During metaphase 2, homologous chromosomes do not pair up. Instead, individual chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate in preparation for separation during anaphase 2.
During metaphase II, do homologous chromosomes pair up as in metaphase I?
No, during metaphase II of meiosis, homologous chromosomes do not pair up as they do in metaphase I. Instead, individual chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate.
