Answer : 2. "only during cell division"
Explanation :
Answer: B) only during cell division Explanation: During most of the cell cycle, interphase, the chromosomes are somewhat less condensed and are not visible as individual objects under the light microscope. However during cell division, mitosis, the chromosomes become highly condensed and are then visible as dark distinct bodies within the nuclei of cells. The chromosomes are most easily seen and identified at the metaphase stage of cell division and most of the chromosome images in this gallery are pictures of metaphase chromomosomes. The cell division takes place in mitosis stage.

Answer : 4. "Indeterminate"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Indeterminate Explanation: Indeterminate are those,which mathematics can’t determine. Because we don’t actually know which one is the exact answer for this due to having lots of results for this. Explanation:: Let us think by this analogy that, 0 / 1 = 0 0 / 2 = 0 ………… ……….. we can say 0 / n = 0 from this we can write, 0/0 = 0 Again, another analogy,(from limiting concept of 1/0 = infinity) 1 / 0 = +∞ or -∞ 2 /0 = +∞ or -∞ ……… .……. we can say 0 / 0 = ∞ Again, another analogy, 1 / 1 = 1 2/2 = 1 .…….. ……….. we can say, 0/0 = 1 Now, you see it’s confusing. Every analog is mathematically correct then which one is the right answer for 0/0. Therefore Mathematics can’t determine this fact. So, 0/0 is indeterminate.
