Question

In the process of mitotic division during interphase, chromosome material remains in the form of very loosely coiled threads called

B VENKAT · Accepted Answer

## CORE INFORMATION
✓ **Answer**: B
## CONCEPT FRAMEWORK
	**Primary Concept**: Chromosome structure during cell cycle
	**Related Topics**: Mitosis, Interphase, Chromatin, Chromosomes, Chromatids
	**Prerequisites**: Basic understanding of cell cycle and chromosome structure
## SOLUTION PATHWAY
**Given Information**:
	The question asks about the form of chromosome material during interphase.
**Method & Steps**:
	1.	Recall the different forms of DNA during the cell cycle.
		Reasoning: During interphase, DNA is not condensed into chromosomes but exists as loosely packed chromatin.
		Formula/Rule: N/A
	2.	Identify the correct term for this form.
		Working: Chromatin refers to the loosely coiled threads of DNA and associated proteins.
		Key Point: Chromosomes are the condensed forms of DNA that appear during mitosis.
	3.	Select the correct option.
		Result: Chromatin is the correct term.
		Verification: Chromatin is the correct answer.
 ## OPTION ANALYSIS
[A] :x: Chromosomes are the condensed form of DNA seen during cell division not interphase.
[B] ✓: Chromatin is the correct term for the loosely coiled DNA during interphase.
[C] :x: Chromatids are the replicated strands of a chromosome, visible during cell division.
[D] :x: Microtubules are structures involved in cell division not the form of DNA. 
 ## LEARNING AIDS
	**Common Mistakes**:
		1.[Error 1]: Confusing chromatin with chromosomes: Chromatin is loosely packed DNA in interphase, while chromosomes are condensed DNA seen during mitosis.
		2.[Error 2]: Confusing chromatids and chromosomes: Chromatids are the replicated strands of a chromosome, while chromosomes are the overall structure.
	**Quick Tips**:
		1.[Helpful shortcut]: Remember that 'tin' in chromatin is for the thin and loosely packed structure.
		2.[Memory aid]: Think of 'chromatin' as the 'relaxed' form of DNA, while 'chromosome' is the 'condensed' form.
