Chromosomes first become visible during which phase of mitosis?
Correct answer: B. Prophase
- A. Telophase
- B. Prophase
- C. Metaphase
- D. Anaphase
Explanation
Chromosomes first become visible during the prophase stage of mitosis. In prophase, the chromatin condenses and coils tightly, forming distinct, visible structures called chromosomes. This condensation makes it easier for the cell to organize and separate the genetic material during cell division.
