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.

Suzanne has a cat and uses a pet carrier to take her cat to the veterinarian. After a few years, the cat runs away and hides eve

tester [92]

Answer:

C. Conditioned

Explanation:

Based on the reaction that the cat is having it seems that the cat has a conditioned response to the carrier being out. This means that the cat has a learned response that is directly associated with a certain stimuli which in this case is the carrier. Since he has a bad experience with the carrier before, he now reacts in a scared manner every time he sees it.
