No , chromosomes are not visible during the Interphase of cell cycle bcoz of more water content in the nucleus.

As water content is more in the nucleus . they appear as fine thread like structures called chromatin , which condenses ( Loose water ) to form compact structures called chromosomes.

Chromsomes are best visible during the Metaphase.
