Protein involved in DNA condensation. In most eukaryotes, the chromosomal packing involves the wrapping of DNA around a core of histones to form nucleosomes. Adjacent nucleosomes are packaged together via Histone 1 and nucleosomes are organized into a 30 nm chromatin fiber. DNA condensation takes place as cells enter mitosis or when germ cells enter meiosis.

Where and in what form is eukarytoic DNA found?
Location: within the nucleus Form: Highly condensed and super coiled. Found associated with proteins called histones
What are chromosomes and when can they be seen?
Chromosomes are thread like structures which are made up of DNA and proteins , they are present in nucleus of cells .They can be seen only when the cell is dividing .
Is the DNA condensed in all or part of which phases?
DNA is condensed during Prophase, Anaphase and Telophase. Aka, M phase
DNA in this membrane bound organelle?
DNA in the nucleus, bounded by the bi-lipid layer known as the nuclear envelope, resides in either a condensed form for cell division or an open, dispersed form for transcription and translation.
What organelle also stores DNA?
The nucleus contains most of the DNA in a cell and this DNA is called the chromosomal DNA. It is separated from the rest of the cell by a double layer of membrane. The mitochondria also contain DNA, called the mitochondrial DNA.
What is located in the nucleus and contain DNA?
Technically the nucleus is the major part of a cell that holds the DNA of a cell, but it does sepatare into a form of multiple linear molecules of DNA that merge into the chromosomes. So, basically the nucleus and chromosomes contain DNA.
What does the cell nucleus contain?
They contain a penis and an infected vaginal area.
What is the code contained within the nucleus of a cell?
The nucleus of a cell contains genetic material in the form of DNA and RNA. DNA is packed into highly condensed structures called chromosomes. RNA is able to shuttle between the nucleus and cytoplasm.
What are the dark-staining regions in the nucleus of a non-dividing cell and are composed of tightly coiled strands of DNA?
Condensed chromatin
What are the dark staining regions in the the nucleus of a non-dividing cell which are composed of tightly coiled strands of DNA called?
Condensed chromatin
Is DNA a nucleus?
The nucleus contains DNA. The DNA is found in the nucleus.

What are the roles of chromosomes DNA and genes in storing genetic material?
It stores and passes on genes. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contains the code for the genes. Chromosomes are condensed DNA. It is formed on preparation of replication.
What is the head of the sperm mostly consisted of?
The head of the sperm are packed with condensed DNA and nothing else but a small amount of cytoplasm.
What organelle also stores DNA?
The nucleus contains most of the DNA in a cell and this DNA is called the chromosomal DNA. It is separated from the rest of the cell by a double layer of membrane. The mitochondria also contain DNA, called the mitochondrial DNA.
