Question

The microscope image here shows that the chromosomes are condensed. Which cellular phase is this?

A.) Telophase


B.) Interphase


C.) Metaphase


D.) Prophase

Answer 1

Prophase

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Prophase is the phase during which chromosomes start to condense and become more visible. Here we can also see that nuclear membrane and nucleolus is disappeared that again is a characteristic if prophase chromosomes.

Telophase is the last phase of cell division in which we see two daughter cells and the nuclear membrane again re appears so this is not telophase.

During Metaphase chromosomes are also condensed but they are less condensed than those in prophase.

During Interphase DNA actually divides and this is a phase before actual division of a cell in which it spends most of its life.

So the correct option is D.

Hope it help!
