Exercise 25

Using a light microscope, it is easiest to see chromosomes:
A) during mitosis and meiosis, because the condensed chromosomes are thicker and therefore more prominent.
B) during interphase, when they are concentrated in the nucleus.
C) in the mitochondria, because the chromosomes are circular.
D) during asexual reproduction.
E) during interphase, because they are uncoiled and have a more linear structure.
