How the shape of chromosomes vary?

How the shape of chromosomes vary with respect to mitosis and interphase.

During interphase, the cell’s DNA is not condensed and is loosely distributed. A stain for heterochromatin (which indicates the position of chromosomes) shows this broad distribution of chromatin in a mouse cell (upper left). The same stain also shows the organized, aligned structure of the chromosomes during mitosis.
