At the end of cell division, chromosomes are extremely moist. The moisture on the chromosome is seen to serve as protection. It prevents the chromosome from having any difficulty or issue when they are intended to split and do the process of division. To try and see if it was in fact the moisture serving as protection for the chromosomes, researchers have taken a cell, added chemicals that purposely block the cells ability to perspire or become moist. From the addition of chemicals in the cell, several issues arose and defects were discovered during cell division. [1]
