What are the visible legs that appear when dna strands coil and condense

The answer is; chromosomes.

During interphase, the chromosomes are usually hard to visualize even under a microscope becaue they are long thin threads called chromatin. During the initiation of mitosis, the chromatin undergo structural changes that condense and shortens them  and they becomes visible to even a light microscope.  

children tend to take more after their grandparents more than their parents. it’s the dna you received that was passed down to you somewhere in your family. maybe one of your grandparents had/has straight hair and you might have gotten it from them.
