A nucleus contains DNA during cell division the phone tiny rod shaped bodies what are they called?

The tiny rod shaped bodies made of DNA that are contained in the nucleus during cell division are called chromatids, two of which are linked by a centromere to form the X-shaped chromosome.

Explanation:

The right question should be:

A nucleus contains DNA during cell division, forming tiny rod-shaped bodies. What are they called?

The DNA molecule in the cell nucleus is free in the form of strands during the cell interface, associated with proteins, called histones and non-histones.

A chromosome - an organized structure - is the product of chromatin condensation, during cell division. Each chromosome is made up of a DNA molecule, contains the genes that determine specific characteristics and their number is different in each species.

The chromosome is X-shaped and is composed of chromatids -thin rod shaped bodies- which are organized in pairs linked by a centrosome. These chromatids must be separated to give rise to the chromosomes of each daughter cell.
