What is the role or proteins in a chromosome?
Chromatin is tightly coiled and wrapped around proteins called histones to form structures called chromosomes
What helps dns to coil into a chromosome?
They coil around proteins called histones
What is the DNA in linear eukaryote chromosomes is wrapped around proteins?
Histones.
DNA is wrapped around a special protein?
DNA is wrapped around histone proteins. They are called nucleosomes and resemble "beads on a string" when viewed closely.
What is the genetic meterial that is tightly wrapped around proteins called?
D N A is the genetic meterial.
What is the role or proteins in a chromosome?
Chromatin is tightly coiled and wrapped around proteins called histones to form structures called chromosomes
Abe is a technician instructed to photograph some chromatids How would he distinguish a chromatid from a chromosome?
Chromatids would be long strings of genetic material not that easy to see under a microscope. A chromosome is bulky, as it is condensed DNA wrapped tightly around histone proteins. Chromatids are wrapped around histones too, but loosely.
What is DNA wrapped around proteins called?
Tangled strands of DNA are in Prokaryotic cells. This is because the DNA is free floating. The proteins are most likely tangled in the protein molecules.
Describe the makeup of chromosomes?
Human chromosomes are made up of chromatin, which is DNA wrapped around associated proteins called histones. Each chromosome has a single centromere joining the two chromatids. Telomeres are found at either end of the chromosome. They do not code for RNA, they protect the DNA from degradation during replication.
What is the fundamental repeating unit of organization in a eukaryotic chromosome?
The nucleosome is the basic unit that organizes the structure of an eukaryotic chromosome. The nucleosome is DNA wrapped around histone proteins which allows the DNA to condense into chromosomes.
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 are functions of chromosome?
A chromosome is very tightly packed DNA. DNA stores the information that is used to synthesize proteins. Thus the entire makeup and organization of an organism relies on the information stored in the chromosomes. DNA becomes wrapped around proteins known as histones. 8 histones form a structure known as a nucleosome. Multiple nucleosomes condense together with the addition of another histone, H1 to form a 30 nanometer fiber. Scaffolding proteins further pack the 30 nanometer fiber into a chromosome.
What helps dns to coil into a chromosome?
They coil around proteins called histones
Thread like structure in the nucleus?
Chromatin, which is DNA wrapped around proteins.
DNA is wrapped around a special type of protein which is the name of these proteins?
Histones
What is the DNA in linear eukaryote chromosomes is wrapped around proteins?
Histones.
DNA is wrapped around a special protein?
DNA is wrapped around histone proteins. They are called nucleosomes and resemble "beads on a string" when viewed closely.
