Chromatin contains proteins called?
Histones are the main proteins in chromatin, histones are a group of five small basic proteins in the nucleus.
Which molecules consist of DNa plus proteins?
Histones.
How do histones and or proteins know what to do?
They don't. The behaviour of histones and other proteins follows entirely from their physical and chemical properties, just like the rolling behaviour of a ball follows from the fact that it is round.
Why do proteins have to coat the DNA in chromosome?
Certain proteins, called histones, act as spools, which wind up small stretches of DNA. Other proteins (including other histones) stabilize and support these spools, making a complex network of DNA coils and proteins. Did this help at all?
What is the core of a chromosome made up of?
DNA and proteins called histones
Chromatin contains proteins called?
Histones are the main proteins in chromatin, histones are a group of five small basic proteins in the nucleus.
What is the name for strands of DNA wound around proteins?
chromosomes. The DNA is genes that are tightly wrapped around proteins. The proteins are histones.
What is a non histones protein?
Non-histones protein are classified as the proteins that are left after the histones have been removed in chromatin. DNA polymerase and scaffold proteins are non-histone proteins.
Term for the group of proteins that organizes and condenses long strands of DNA into light coils?
HISTONES
What proteins are associated with DNA in the cell?
histones are the proteins that DNA coils aroudn
What substances are contained in a chromosome?
DNA and proteins (such as histones).
How DNA packaged into chromosome?
By proteins called histones.
Which molecules consist of DNa plus proteins?
Histones.
What protein does DNA wrap around?
Histones are the major proteins involved in coiling DNA.
To help with biology homework what are histones?
Histones are proteins found in eukaryotic cell nuclei. They are high in alkaline. Histones package and order the DNA into units that are called nucleosomes.
When does DNA begins to condense with help of structural proteins like histones?
as soon as histones are put in solution with DNA it begins to condense. Just by being there the positively charged histones are attracted to the negatively charged DNA. DNA wraps around histones and other structural proteins condensing to metaphase chromosomes.
How do histones and or proteins know what to do?
They don't. The behaviour of histones and other proteins follows entirely from their physical and chemical properties, just like the rolling behaviour of a ball follows from the fact that it is round.
