what technique would be most appropriate to use to observe the movements of condensed chromosomes during cell division?
○ transmission electron microscopy
○ a hand lens (magnifying glass)
○ scanning electron microscopy
○ standard light microscopy
Transmission and scanning electron microscopes require non-living, fixed samples, so they cannot observe dynamic movements during cell division. A hand lens lacks sufficient magnification to see chromosomes. Standard light microscopy can visualize condensed chromosomes in living or stained dividing cells and capture their dynamic movements.
