During interphase (1), chromatin is in its least condensed state and appears loosely distributed throughout the nucleus. Chromatin condensation begins during prophase (2) and chromosomes become visible. Chromosomes remain condensed throughout the various stages of mitosis (2-5).
The stem of the plant should be cut at least three to four inches above the surface level. The glass capillary should be tightly fixed with the stem. The initial water level and the final water level should be carefully noted. The droplets on the leaves should be observed and conclude that these drops are not from transpiration.
