Detailed explanation-1: -Chromosomes become visible during prophase. Chromatin is in its least condensed stage during the interphase stage. It begins its condensation during the prophase stage and is visible until the end of cell division.

Detailed explanation-2: -During prophase, the complex of DNA and proteins contained in the nucleus, known as chromatin, condenses. The chromatin coils and becomes increasingly compact, resulting in the formation of visible chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Chromatin condensation begins during prophase (2) and chromosomes become visible.

Detailed explanation-4: -Condensation of chromatin occurs during the prophase stage. In meiotic cell division, the mother cell divides twice after one round of replication. In meiosis, condensation occurs during prophase I which is long and complex stage.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chromatin, a substance that contains genetic material such as DNA, is normally found in a loose bundle inside a cell’s nucleus. During the prophase of mitosis, the chromatin in a cell compacts to form condensed chromosomes; this condensation is required in order for the cell to divide properly.
