The chromosomes in a cell's nucleus are only visible during the part of the cell cycle known as prophase. Prophase is the stage of mitosis in which chromatin condensation occurs.
The chromosomes coil up and condense during prophase
During prophase, chromosomes condense and become more visible because they coil tightly to form shorter and thicker structures. This condensation helps prevent tangling and facilitates the movement of chromosomes during cell division. Additionally, the condensation of chromosomes helps ensure that each daughter cell will receive the correct number and type of chromosomes.
The phase during mitosis in which DNA separates into pairs of chromosomes is called prophase. During prophase, the chromosomes condense and become visible as distinct structures before the actual separation occurs during later stages of mitosis.
The DNA of a cell condenses to form chromosomes during cell division or mitotis, called the M phase of the cell cycle. Specifically, chromosomes acquire their characteristic X shape in the metaphase stage of mitotis. Each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids joined at the centromere.
The initial visible phase of mitosis is prophase. During prophase, the nuclear envelope breaks down, chromosomes condense, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.
Interphase as they become decondenced
Chromosomes condense and form during the prophase stage of mitosis. This is when the chromatin fibers in the nucleus tighten and become visible as distinct structures through a microscope.
The phase of mitosis where the chromatin fibers duplicate and condense into visible chromosomes is Interphase. Interphase is the first stage of the cell cycle.
They first become visible during prophase of mitosis.

The second phase of mitosis is called prophase. During prophase, chromosomes condense and become visible as distinct structures. In addition, the nuclear membrane starts to break down, allowing the chromosomes to move freely within the cell.
