Chromosomes cannot be counted during interphase because they are uncoiled and extended and so not visible under the microscope. When the cell divides the chromosomes become shorter and thicker, so they are visible under the microscope and can be counted.
because they are not directly visible durin the interphase
The individual chromosomes cannot be seen in interphase because they haven't been condensed yet. That's what happens during mitosis so that it is easier to seperate them into new daughter cells. While in interphase, its called chromatin.
Chromosomes replicate in the Interphase part of Meiosis and throughout the whole process of Meiosis they only replicate once.
the chromosomes are duplicated.
in the interphase
Chromosomes duplicate themselves during interphase of a cell's life cycle.
Only during the division stages of a cells life will chromosomes form. During Interphase the cells DNA is in the unorganized form of chromatin.
In interphase, the DNA has just replicated and exists as loosely coiled chromatins. They have not yet condensed enough to be the form of a chromosome. In the next stage, prophase, the DNA will shorten and condense into the easily recognizable chromosome structure.
Chromosomes are replicated during DNA replication, which occurs during interphase.
chromosomes
Chromosomes during interphase only have one chromatinFound this answer while doing a crossword for my bio 101 class, it fits in the space - if that helps your confidence in my answer
No, after telophase (a.k.a. during interphase) the chromosomes entangle as they replicate however it does again become possible for individual chromosomes to be distinguished in prophase as the chromosomes begin to 'coil up' or condense.
No . !
DNA is replicated during interphase, and chromosomes form or condense during the prophase. So the genes and chromosomes are duplicated at the beginning of mitosis, during the interphase, although you can't see them as chromosomes until the prophase, before the cell splits.

The replication of the chromosomes occurs during interphase.
