Yes, the DNA coils up to form chromosomes.
A chromosome in humans is made up of one long DNA molecule. This DNA molecule is double-stranded and contains thousands of genes.
DNA molecules
chromosome
A chromosome is formed from a single DNA molecule.
The difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule is that a chromosome is a single DNA molecule associated with proteins and a DNA molecule is a long thin molecule that stores genetic information.
Chromatids.
DNA and Protein
The second statement would be more correct.
A centromere and a pair of sister chromatids
DNA molecule is wound up around proteins called histones to form a structure known as a chromosome. This coiling helps condense the DNA for efficient storage and organization within the cell.
The building blocks of a chromosome are DNA molecules. DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones to form chromatin, which then condenses to form the structure of a chromosome. Each chromosome contains a single long DNA molecule with many genes.
A chromosome is made up of DNA, which has subunits called nucleotides.
