Chromosomes are condensed and visible in prophase due to the coiling of DNA to form compact structures. In interphase, chromosomes are in their less condensed state, called chromatin, making them less visible under a microscope. This allows for gene expression and DNA replication to occur before cells enter mitosis and condense their chromosomes again.

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 happens to a cells DNA in interphase prophase and metaphase?

In interphase, the cell's DNA replicates to form identical copies of each chromosome. In prophase, the DNA condenses into visible chromosomes and the nuclear envelope breaks down. In metaphase, the chromosomes line up along the cell's equator.


What does iPMAT mean?

Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase (stages for mitosis) :D Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase (stages for mitosis) :D


Chromosome are not visible?

interphase


In which of the stages does each chromosome consist of two DNA molecules?

(From the end of the S phase of interphase through the metaphase of mitosis). In eukaryotes, throughout the entire life of the Cell, also called the cell cycle. During Mitosis the chromosomes are separated.


Crossing over occurs during which phase of meiosis?

Crossing over occurs during Prophase I of meiosis.


What does IPMAT stand for?

Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.


What phase of meiosis is when the chromosomes copied?

Interphase before Prophase I.


What are the phases in Mitosis and Meiosis?

In mitosis, the phases are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. In meiosis, the phases are similar but with two rounds of division: prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, followed by prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, and telophase II.


Which phase of the cell occurs first?

Most people consider interphase as the first phase in mitosis.


What happens from interphase to prophase?

From interphase to prophase, the cell undergoes a series of events such as DNA replication, chromosome condensation, and assembly of the mitotic spindle. During interphase, the cell grows and copies its DNA, and in prophase, the chromosomes become visible and the nucleus breaks down. These changes prepare the cell for division during mitosis.


What is the outcome of interphase?

Interphase is where the cell is when it is preparing for cell division. Therefore the purpose of interphase is to prepare the cell for division. During interphase, the cell goes through three stages; the G1, S Phase and G2. This is the longest part of the cycle.
