Answer:

Nitrogenous bases have two distinct families known as purines and pyrimidine, nitrogenous are the building blocks or monomer units of the nucleic acids.

The major and significant difference between purines and pyrimidines is the difference in their structures-

The purines are divided into two different bases called adenine and guanine and each of them have a two-ringed structure formed with a 9-membered molecule and 4 nitrogen atoms which makes it a large in size than purines.

The pyrimidines are divided into 3 bases that are cytosine, uracil, and thymine and all these have only one single ring of six members and 2 nitrogen atoms.  These are smaller in size.

Why is it difficult to observe individual chromosomes with a light microscope during interphase?
asambeis [7]

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.
