Question

Name the cell component which is visible only during cell division stages.

__

Answer 1

Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA contains the specific instructions that make each type of living creature unique. In interphase, the chromosomes are somewhat less condensed and are not visible as individual objects under the light microscope. However during cell division, the chromosomes become highly condensed and are then visible as dark distinct bodies within the nuclei of cells.
