They look the same as animal chromosomes. The individual chromatids are worm-like in appearance and are normally joined in pairs at the centre (the centromere); simplistically they look like two parallel lines joined by a dot in the centre. The number of chromosomes in a nucleus varies from plant species to plant species.
