What does the 24 in chromosome 8q24 mean?
The 24 in chromosome 8q24 denotes the specific location of a gene on chromosome 8. Chromosomes are numbered from 1 to 22 based on size, with 23 being the sex chromosomes. The q indicates the long arm of the chromosome, and the 24 specifies the banding pattern within that region.
What do you call a bundle of DNA?
"bundles" of genetic material in a cell's nucleus are called chromosomes.
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 are the long strands in the nucleus called?
In a cell, the tangles of long strands of DNA form the
When a cell is not dividing chromosomes form long thin fibers?
These long thin fibers of DNA and protein are called chromatin. During cell division, the chromatin fibers condense and coil to form visible chromosomes. Chromosomes help organize and separate the genetic material during cell division.
What is the syndrome of the missing long leg of chromosome 5?
I think you mean long arm...chromosomes don't have legs.
Genes are located on structures called what?
The structures are called chromosomes.
When the the P arm and Q arm have the same length what they called?
When the p arm and q arm have the same length in a chromosome, they are called metacentric chromosomes. This results in the centromere being positioned in the center, giving the chromosome a symmetric appearance.
Long narrow arm of the sea?
Any "Long narrow arm of the sea" would be called a FJORD.Hope that helps!
What is a tax rate that is fixed regardless of income?
In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure. Chromosomes are not visible in the cell's nucleus-not even under a microscope-when the cell is not dividing. However, the DNA that makes up chromosomes becomes more tightly packed during cell division and is then visible under a microscope. Most of what researchers know about chromosomes was learned by observing chromosomes during cell division. Each chromosome has a constriction point called the centromere, which divides the chromosome into two sections, or "arms." The short arm of the chromosome is labeled the "p arm." The long arm of the chromosome is labeled the "q arm." The location of the centromere on each chromosome gives the chromosome its characteristic shape, and can be used to help describe the location of specific genes
What bones are found in the upper arm?
The long bone in the upper arm is called the humerus.
The DNA of a cell is organized into structures. What are these structures called?
chromosomes

Structure in the nucleus made up of long threadlike DNA coils?
Structures in the nucleus made up of long thread like DNA coils are called chromosomes. There are 46 chromosomes.
What are pairs of chromosomes called?

How many chromosomes are in a cell in the arm of the body?
it has the same amount as any other cells in your body (with the exception of sex cells which have 23.) a cell in the arm of the body will have 46 chromosomes (23 pairs)
