What form is when DNA is in long strands prior to coiling?
The form DNA takes when it is in long strands prior to coiling is called chromatin. Chromatin consists of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones, and it is the uncoiled and extended form of DNA that allows for gene expression and replication.
What are the long strands in the nucleus called?

Does DNA have chromosomes in it or is it the other way around?
Chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA wraps around proteins called histones to form structures called nucleosomes, which then coil and condense to create chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a single, long DNA molecule.
What is the form of DNA called?
a double helix
What does DNA wrap around to form chromosomes?
DNA wraps around proteins called histones to form chromosomes.
What is the long thread DNA is from called?
The long thread-like structure of DNA is called a "chromosome." Chromosomes are made up of DNA tightly coiled around proteins called histones, which help package the DNA into a compact form that fits within the cell nucleus. In humans, each cell typically contains 23 pairs of chromosomes, carrying the genetic information necessary for development and functioning.
What shape is DNA and how is it stored in cells?
DNA is shaped like a double helix. It is stored in cells in the form of chromosomes, which are long strands of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones. These chromosomes are organized in the cell's nucleus.
What is filled with DNA is called chromatin?
The nucleus of the cell is filled with DNA in the form of chromatin.
What are the two long chains in the DNA called?
The two long chains in DNA are called nucleotide strands. These strands are made up of smaller units called nucleotides, which consist of a sugar molecule, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. The nucleotide strands are complementary and form a double helix structure.
What is it called when long strands of DNA are wrapped around themselves?
It is called DNA supercoiling. This coiling helps to compact the long strands of DNA into the small space inside a cell.
What do long strand of DNA in cells form?
a chromosome
