condensed and the chromosomes are often visible under the light microscope

attached to microtubule spindle fibers

transported through the nuclear pores

dispersed in the nucleus as long strands of chromatin

Verified step by step guidance

Understand that interphase is a part of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, and it is not a phase of mitosis or meiosis.

Recognize that during interphase, the cell is actively engaged in metabolic activities and DNA replication, but not in cell division.

Recall that genetic material in eukaryotic cells is organized as chromatin, which is a complex of DNA and proteins.

During interphase, chromatin is not condensed into visible chromosomes; instead, it is dispersed throughout the nucleus, allowing for transcription and replication.

Conclude that the genetic material is dispersed in the nucleus as long strands of chromatin, which is essential for the cell's functions during interphase.
