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

Biology

asambeis [7]3 years ago

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.

Why does this recent discovery about the galapagos finches prove that it’s often challenging for scientists to determine when tw
34kurt

Because the species of finches on the Galápagos island have various appearances but still mate with other finches and produce fertile offspring making it is difficult for scientists to distinguish between two groups of individuals as separate species.

<h3>What is the island of Galápagos?</h3>

The Pacific Ocean island of Galápagos is located to the west of Ecuador. It is a volcanic island known for its diverse and endemic types of living things.

<h3>Why is it difficult to find new species in Finches?</h3>

Charles Darwin spent several years studying the many species of finches on the Galápagos island. He saw a great deal of variation in these finches, which supports the hypothesis of natural selection.

However. it is challenging for scientists to discern between two separate species because the species of finches on the Galápagos island have a variety of features that are different but still mate with other finches and produce fertile offspring.
