Chromosomes are depicted as a straight line during the interphase stage of the cell cycle when they are in their relaxed, uncondensed form and less visible. In contrast, they are drawn in an X configuration during metaphase, when they are highly condensed and aligned at the cell's equator, making them easier to observe and identify. This X shape represents the duplicated chromosomes, with two sister chromatids joined at the centromere, preparing for separation during cell division.
