How many chromosomes in a complete set?
Chromosomes are condensed DNA within a cell. Strands of DNA(deoxyribonucleic acid) are tightly wound around proteins called histones. These groups of clustered DNA and histones are compacted into a substance known as chromatin. The chromatin condenses into chromosomes. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes within each cell throughout the whole body. This is vital for survival of multicellular organisms as DNA holds the genetic code for the organism and also the information for certain proteins to be produced by the cell. In short, there are 23 pairs of chromosomes in every cell, and chromosomes are made up of DNA - the genetic code.
The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more what than do the chromosomes of prokaryotic cells?
The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more DNA than the chromosomes of prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes usually only have 1 circular chromosome and no "junk DNA", while eukaryotes are multi-chromosomal.
What are cells heridity material?
Chromosomes are cells hereditary material.
In what structures can the DNA of a cell be found?
DNA is kept in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
A structure found in the nucleus that is made of DNA?
Chromosomes - structures composed of DNA and proteins found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Chromosomes carry the genetic material. Chromosomes - structures composed of DNA and proteins found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Chromosomes carry the genetic material.
Is iit true or false that our sex cells have the same amount of dna in as your heart cells?
That is false. All body cells, including heart muscle cells have 46 chromosomes. Sex cells have 23 chromosomes.
Is DNA located in chromosomes?
DNA is actually in cells. Chromosomes are found on DNA.
Do plant cells have single or multiple dna chromosomes?
Plant cells have single DNA chromosomes. Animal Cells have multiple.

Does chromosome have cells?
No, chromosomes do not have cells. Chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins and are found within cells.
What happens to DNA and chromosomes when cells in most parts of the body divide?
The DNA and chromosomes divide with it
What occurs in a successful transformation of cells?
The foreign DNA is integrated into one of the cell's chromosomes.
The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more what than do the chromosomes of prokaryotic cells?
The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more DNA than the chromosomes of prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes usually only have 1 circular chromosome and no "junk DNA", while eukaryotes are multi-chromosomal.
What structures can cells DNA be found?
in chromosomes
What is the difference in DNA between parent cells and daughter cells in meiosis?
Parent cells are diploids, and daughter cells are haploids. Therefore, the daughter cells have half of the the number of chromosomes as the parent cells. (chromosomes are DNA)
The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more what than do the chromosomes of prokaryotic?
The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more DNA than the chromosomes of prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes usually only have 1 circular chromosome and no "junk DNA", while eukaryotes are multi-chromosomal.
What chromosomes can be describe as?
Chromosomes are an organized structure of DNA and protein that is found in cells.
