During which stage can the chromosomes be seen clearly? Write the features of the eukaryotic and prokaryotic chromosomes.

Chromosomes are distinctly visible during the Metaphase stage of mitosis of a cell.
The features of eukaryotic and prokaryotic chromosomes are as follows
Eukaryotic chromosomes
1. They are present in large numbers.
2. In higher organisms it occurs in paired condition.
3. They are visible distinctly only during the metaphase stage of mitosis.
4. Each chromosome consists of two chromatics attached together by a centromere.
Prokaryotic chromosomes
1. They are simple in composition when compared to the eukaryotic chromosomes.
2. They are generally circular in shape.
3. There is only one chromosome in a cell.
