In what structures can the DNA of a cell be found?
DNA is kept in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
Explain how DNA genes and chromosomes are related?
DNA is the molecule that genes are made of. Chromosomes are the (arbitrary) clumping that genes form in cells.
What is the relationship between chromosomes and genes and between genes and DNA?
Chromosomes contain genes which are segments of DNA.
How are chromosomes genes and DNA alike and why are they in the cell?
The building blocks of your body are cells. In the cells are nuclei where DNA is located. The DNA is made of chromosomes which contain all the information or codes that make you who you are. These codes we call genes. The number of chromosomes varies with the species. We, as humans, have 23 pairs.
What is made up of DNA and are located on the chromosomes inside the cells nucleus?
genes
What is a structure in cells where genes are found made of proteins and DNA?
The structure in cells where genes are found is called the nucleus. It is surrounded by a nuclear envelope and contains chromosomes, which are made of proteins and DNA. The DNA within the chromosomes carries the genetic information required for the functioning and development of the organism.
What are the roles of chromosomes DNA and genes in storing genetic material?
It stores and passes on genes. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contains the code for the genes. Chromosomes are condensed DNA. It is formed on preparation of replication.
What is the difference between chromosomes and genes?
DNA is in genes, and genes are in chromosomes.
Where are the genes located?
Genes are DNA grouped together/organized on chromosomes which are found inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, and are found floating around in the cytoplasm as DNA in prokaryotic cells.
Are chromosomes a DNA molecule with many genes?
Yes, because chromosomes are full of genes and DNA
What does DNA make up?
DNA is like a blueprint for your body. DNA is the place where you find your genes and help conduct cells.
What happens to genes when cells divide?
If a cell divides by mitosis both cells will have the diploid (2N) number of chromosomes. These two cells will have identical DNA If a cell divides by meiosis subsequent cells will have the haploid (1N) number of chromosomes. These cells will have the same basic amount of DNA but the DNA will not be identical. If the sex chromosomes are different sizes (like the X and Y chromosomes of humans) the DNA will vary a bit more dramatically if the meiosis includes the additional variation of the different sex chromosomes.
