True or false Before a DNA molecule can replicate itself it must make itself more compact This is accomplished by the double helix coiling up on itself?
true
How does a DNA molecule make a exact copy of itself?
they break apart and they find other DNA strands and form more DNA strands.
What are packages of compact DNA?
They are called Neucleosomes (DNA and histone proteins) and those compact further into chromosomes.
Does a chromosome contain histone?
Histones are proteins that aid the condensation of the DNA. Condensation makes the DNA more compact so it would fit in the cells. In this compaction process, DNA is winded around these proteins.
What part of the cell cycle does the DNA make a copy of itself?
interphase
How would DNA make itself more compact?
Acetylation is the compacting of a DNA molecule, making it more compact and reduces its ability to be transcribed.
True or false Before a DNA molecule can replicate itself it must make itself more compact This is accomplished by the double helix coiling up on itself?
true
How does DNA makea itself more compact?
It wraps around histones and coils into a fiber
What DNA code can make a copy of itself?
A gene is the DNA code that can make a copy of itself.
Which DNA code can make a copy of itself?
The universal DNA code can make a copy of itself.
How does a DNA molecule make a exact copy of itself?
they break apart and they find other DNA strands and form more DNA strands.
Why is it necessary for a virus to invade a living cell to make copies of itself?
Since viruses are nonliving they have to invade and hijack a living cells DNA to make more copies of itself. If it cannot do this it cannot make more copies of itself.
What are packages of compact DNA?
They are called Neucleosomes (DNA and histone proteins) and those compact further into chromosomes.
How does DNA make sure it does NOT make a mistake when copying itself?
DNA Transcriptase's proofreading ability.
Who does DNA make copies of itself?
meosis
When does DNA make a copy of itself?
during interphase
How does DNA replicate make a copy of itself?
