Why is it difficult to observe individual chromosomes with a light microscope during interphase?

Biology
1 answer:
asambeis [7]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

They have uncoiled to form long, thin strands.

Explanation:

Chromosomes are present in cell nucleus and consist of chromatin. Genes are present in linear order on chromosomes.  The chromosomes become visible under the microscope as distinct structures during cell division. When cells are not dividing, the chromosomes decondense to loose their individuality and make the mass of chromatin.  

Chromatin is complex of DNA and packing proteins. As the cells enter the prophase stage of cell division, condensation of chromatin occurs and individual chromosomes become visible under microscope. Before that (during interphase), chromosomes are not visible as they are present in decondensed form.

Excitation-contraction coupling links two physiological processes. what are these two processes and what constitutes the critica
luda_lava [24]

The link where the action potential of the nerve that meets muscle and causes it to contraction is where excitation-contraction coupling occurs. The  T_tubules the invaginate into the sarcolemma of the muscle cells are the ones that carry the excitation into the muscles. Its depolarization causes the lateral sacs of the sarcoplasmic reticulum to release ca2+ ions. The ca2+ then bind into their site on troponin and causes the tropomyosin to shift and allow actin to expose the binding site in which myosin head will bind and form a cross bridge that is important in the contraction of the muscle.
