What is one of the two strands of a chromosome that become visible during meiosis or mitosis?

One of the two strands of a chromosome that becomes visible during meiosis or mitosis is known as the chromatid. Each chromatid is an exact copy of the other, formed during DNA replication in the interphase preceding cell division.


Why do chromosomes need to become 2 strands before the cell divides?

The second strand of a chromosome is a copy of the genetic information for that cell. There are 2 strands so that when the cell divides, there is one copy of each chromosome for each offspring cell.


What structure will the chromatin become in mitosis?

The chromatin in the cell becomes chromosomes in prophase, the first stage of mitosis. The chromatin coils tightly together to form into separate chromosome strands during this phase.


What do a cells chromosomes contain?

If we use the word "chromatid", there are always two. (As with twins!)In a eukaryotic cell immediately after cell division (mitosis or meiosis), each chromosome contains only one DNA molecule.If the cell is preparing for a subsequent division, then midway through interphase the DNA replicates. Now there are two molecules of DNA in each chromosome.At the start of the following division, in prophase, the chromosomes condense, and the two DNA molecules, with their many associated proteins, become visible under a light microscope as sister-chromatids.


The chromosomes become invisible?

The stages of mitosis are: Interphase Preprophase Prophase Prometaphase Metaphase Anaphase Telophase Cytokinesis The Chromosome condense and become visible during prophase.

What protein strands connecting the centrioles become visible during middle prophase and are almost complete by late prophase?

These strands are called spindle fibers. Each replicating chromosome lines up vertically on a spindle fiber during metaphase. During anaphase, the fibers pull the replicating chromosomes apart (leaving one chromosome to go to either end of the cell).

When during the cell cycle are chromosome visible?

During Prophase


What is the name for the fibers that become visible during metaphase?

The strands are called chromatids. Druing prophase, the chromosomes coil and shorten and the nuclear memebrane dissolves. Each chromosome is made up of a pair of strands called chromatids, which are connected by a spindle of fibers called a centromere.


When does a chromosome first become visible in mitosis?

During the Prophase. :)Chromosomes become highly condensed.They are visible to light microscope,not naked eye


When chromosomes become visible at the beginning of cell division what dose each chromosome consist of?

sperm

What is the long strand of DNA and protein?

The long strand of DNA and protein is called a chromosome. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and contain genes that carry genetic information. They condense and become visible during cell division.
