Expert Solution

Step 1

Introduction

Every nucleus in the cell contains chromosomes, which are structures that look like threads and contain DNA information. Each chromosome is constructed from DNA that has been tightly wound around proteins known as histones numerous times to support its structure. When a cell is not dividing, chromosomes cannot be seen in the nucleus, even with a microscope. However, during cell division, the DNA that constitutes chromosomes gets more compactly packed and becomes observable under a microscope.
