Is there DNA in a cell?
No cells are not part of DNA. nucleotide bases make up DNA.
Difference between chromosomes and DNA?
The smallest unit is the gene, which can be any length of base pairs, A, C, T, and G. All genes fit on DNA. DNA is a double helix shape, meaning it looks like a ladder twisted around in a spiral shape. The "rungs" are the bases, and the long part is made out of a sugar, deoxyribose, and a phosphate group. All that DNA is then condensed into chromosomes.
Is DNA or RNA the master plan?
DNA is like a master plan in that it has all the plans for all the proteins the body makes. RNA is like a blueprint because it carries the information that tells a a cell how to produce a specific protein.
What creates dna and contains all of your individual traits?
You get DNA from your parents and the DNA get mixed and with some part of mother's and some part of father's.The process in parents that is DNA copying takes place to create copies of DNA of parents and hence this DNA go into the child.The Germ cells or the sex cells contain the individual traits.Sperm- MaleOvaries (Egg)-Female
Why are genes a part of DNA?
DNA is what codes for genes. Alot of DNA together makes a gene, and many genes and other sections of DNA make a chromosome. Lets say for example the chromosome is a cookbook, and a gene is just one recipe, then the DNA molecules are the letters and the paper. Not all DNA codes for a gene/recipe for example in the cookbook there may be some pages explaining kitchen tools, or how to choose fresh vegetables.
What is happening to the DNA throughout all the phases?
It replicates
What happens from interphase to prophase?
the DNA has condensed from chromatin into chromosomes Interphase has three distinct phases: G1, S, and G2. In G1, the cell grows after its last mitosis cycle. In S (for "synthesis"), the cell synthesizes another copy of DNA. In G2, the cell doubles all the organelles and prepares for the beginning of mitosis. During prophase, chromatin condenses into chromosomes and the nuclear envelope breaks down.
What part of a cell are you going to find the DNA?
the nucleus contains all DNA
Is it true that DNA replication can also be called mitosis?
DNA replication is technically not part of mitosis. Mitosis is simply the splitting of the nucleus. DNA replication however is part of the interphase, which is part of the cell cycle. The DNA replication is also known as the S phase in the interphase. In this part, the DNA is replicated creating two sets of all genetic information.
Some of the portions of the chromatin are permanently condensed so that their DNA is never expressed All of these portions stain very intensely and are given a common name of?
Heterochromatin
Can DNA from one part of the body is similar to DNA of the other part in protein sequence structure morphology etc?
The DNA in all body cells should be identical.
Where does mitosis process?
DNA replication during interphase occurs in the nucleus. All other phases of mitosis occur in the cytoplasm after the nuclear membrane is disassembled.
Is there DNA in a cell?
No cells are not part of DNA. nucleotide bases make up DNA.
How are DNA centrimere chromosomes chromatid and chromatin are related?
Chromatid- one of two identical parts of the chromosome after "S" phaseCentromere- the point where the two chromatids crossChromosome- carries DNA in (and between) organisms.

Why are the chromosomes not condensed during all stages of mitosis?
When replicating or during transcription, DNA needs to uncoil in order to give the proper code. When the chromosomes are condensed, it cannot uncoil itself to give any sort of message. In order for the cell to remain functional, it must be able to code DNA.
Which part of DNA forms the double-helix structure?
All of it, that is the shape of the molecule.
