Length of DNA ( Chromosome) Form in which it spends most of its life time ( Chromatin). b). Length of DNA (centromere) Form in which it spends most of its life time( telemore). c). Length of DNA (centromere) Form in which it spends most of its life time(locus). d). length of DNA(chromosome) Form in which it spends most of its life time( centromere).

Hi Aliya,

The answer to your question is A. The length of a single stranded DNA is stored as a Chromosome during interphase and mitosis. In Telophase, the chromosomes unfold and return into their interphase state while a new nuclear envelope forms. The DNA in the G1 interphase spends most of its life as Chromatin which is less condensed and easier for transcription to occur. 

Have a great night! :)
