What is the DNA twisted structure called?
AnswerThe "twisted ladder" shape of DNA is called a double helix.
What is the Structure of histones and non histones?
Histones are the major protein structure of chromosomes. The DNA is wrapped twice around a histone octamer to create a nucleosome, which are assembled six at a time to make a Solenoid. Solenoids coil into a scaffold, which is then coiled itself to make the chromosomal matrix.
What Stores and transmits genetic information called?
In a cell, DNA or Deoxiribose Nucleic Acid stores and transmits genetic information.
The genetic code of a DNA molecule is determined by a specific sequence of WHAT?
A gene is a sequence of nucleotide which is composed of a nitrogenous base(adenine,guanine,thymine & cytosine in case of DNA and thymine is replaced by uracil in case of RNA),a sugar residue(de-oxyribose in DNA & ribose sugar in RNA) and a phosphate group.
What cell structure is made up of the genetic material?
Chromosomes are long, wound up strands of the genetic material, DNA.
Why is reverse gyrase called reverse gyrase?
The enzyme DNA gyrase produces negative supercoils in DNA. The "negative" refers to the directionality of the supercoil, not the electrical charge of the molecule. Reverse gyrase produces positive supercoils, meaning the DNA supercoils in the opposite direction of the negative supercoil.
How does topoisomerase affect the DNA strand during DNA replication?
The topoisomerase enzyme uncoils the double helical structure of DNA during its replication to form the replication fork. In eukaryotes both posive and negative supercoils get unbind by topoisomerase I & II respectively.Topoisomerase isomerase unwinds DNA to form replication fork
Three thing make the structure of a DNA molecule?
what 3 things make the structure of a DNA molecule
What contribution did Francis Crick make to the discover of the structure of DNA?
they described the structure of DNA
Why is DNA known as double helix structure?
Tis' just another word for DNA.

The Watson and Crick model of DNA is known as a?
Double helical structure
What structure houses a eukaryotic cell's DNA?
The structure that house a eukaryotic cells DNA is known as the nucleus. The nucleus has a membrane that is similar to a cell membrane.
How proteins help the support the structure and function of DNA?
DNA is packaged very tight by proteins. Proteins found around the DNA supports both the structure and functions. The proteins and the DNA make up the chromosomes. Proteins and DNA in animal cells are chromatin! DNA contains information because of the DNA's structure!
Which cellular structure contains thin strands of DNA known as chromatin?
nucleus :)
If you unraveled a eukaryotic chromosome what would you observe as it became unraveled?
The chromosome would first unravel into supercoils, which would unravel into helical fibers. Then, the coils would unravel into clusters of histones and a single DNA molecule.
What kind of sugar is used to make DNA?
Deoxyribose is the monosaccaride that serves as the 'backbone' for the DNA structure.
