A chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism. Chromosomes are only visible under a light microscope when the cell is undergoing the metaphase of cell division. During metaphase, when a chromosome is in its most condensed state, the X-shape structure is called a metaphase chromosome.
