Using a light microscope, it is easiest to see chromosomes:
a) during interphase because they are uncoiled and have a more linear structure.
b) during sexual reproduction.
c) during mitosis and meiosis because the condensed chromosomes are thicker and therefore more prominent.
d) during asexual reproduction.
e) during interphase when they are concentrated in the nucleus.
Ans: c) during mitosis and meiosis because the condensed chromosomes are thicker and therefore more prominent.
