Question

Allah uses a microscope to look at slides of onion cells. The slides show the stages of the cell cycle. The slides are labeled and in the correct order, starting with interphase. In which slide would Allah first see chromosomes?
A.

prophase

B.

anaphase

C.

telophase

D.

cytokinesis

Answer 1

why metaphase is not an option...?

Answer 2

idk

Answer 3

I think in anaphase

Answer 4

If metaphse is and option then the answer is metaphase or else it is anaphase to see chromosomes clearly..

Answer 5

why not prophase ?

Answer 6

just nuclear dissociation occurs in the prophase stage so the chromosome will not be so clear as they appear like threads so the answer given is anaphase only...

Answer 7

thread like structures are called as chromatin fibres but not exactly chromosomes and chromosomes are really very clear in metaphase and anaphase

Answer 8

again telophase nuclear association takes place so not visible..

Answer 9

In prophase chromatin fibres condense to form chromosomes :(

Answer 10

@deepika.comet

Answer 11

yeah that is only in late prophase but not in early prophase

Metaphase is the exact phase where you can see the different karyotype of the chromosomes present in the cell also...

Answer 12

but its prophase

Answer 13

in anaphase chromosomes splits into sister chromatids

Answer 14

Question asks in which phase allah will be able to see chromosomes first

Answer 15

I think it should be prophase

Answer 16

yeah but chromosomal structure is clearly visible onlly in metaphase i say not in prophase but the option is not given... so anaphase..

Answer 17

yes that's true but the answer should go prophase here

Answer 18

ok go with it...:)
