What is the region of a chromosome holding the two double strands of replicated DNA together called?
The region of a chromosome holding the two double strands of replicated DNA together is called a centromere. The complex of DNA and protein that makes up eukaryotic chromosome is properly called chromatin.
What is a list of the 3 parts of a chromosome?
Telomere - The ends of the chromosome. Centromere - The primary constriction of the chromosome. Chromatid - A single molecule of DNA. The centromere also divides the chromosome into a short arm (p) and a long arm (q).
The two coiled up strands of DNA within a chromosome are called?
a centromere
What does a chromosome contain?
A chromosome is a part of DNA that consists of a long arm and a short arm connected at the center called the Centromere.
Which are the two main parts that make up a chromosome?
A centromere and a pair of sister chromatids
What do chromosome contain?
Chromosomes contain genes, regulatory portions, the centromere, the telomere and "junk DNA".
What does a cromatid look like?
A chromatid is one among the two identical copies of DNA making up a replicated chromosome, which are joined at their centromeres, for the process of cell division.
Explain how the following terms are related to one another dna centromere chromosome chromatid?
DNA is bundled up into a chromossome with could be one or two chromatids depending on where the cell is in its cell cycle (two chromatids give the chromossome that X look). Both chromatids are bound together by a centromere.
What are the Main functions of a centromere?
Well the centromere in the center of the cell. it divides the nuccleous and really does all the work. For you kids in middle school who need to know this, its qutie simple the pro[hase and anaphase start the metaphase which leads into the interphase which DNA replication occurrs.

Is chromosome Y an acrocentric chromosome?
A chromosome is determined to be metacentric, acrocentric or telocentric by the location of its centromere. Centromeres are the point of attachment of two sister chromatids. Sister chromatids are formed during DNA replication prior to mitosis or meiosis. Chromosome Y by itself (when it is not replicating and there are no sister chromatids) is not acrocentric, as it wouldn't even have a centromere location.
Which is the region of DNA within a Chromosome?
There is no specific region found near the middle of the chromosome. However, the centromere is the region of DNA that present at the primary constriction of the chromosome. In most depictions of the chromosome this is shown in the middle, but it is not necessary that it has to be in the middle.
Where do you find a centromere?
A centromere is a region of DNA typically found near the middle of a chromosome where two identical sister chromatids come in contact. It is involved in cell division as the point of mitotic spindle.
