How does DNA make itself more compact?
wrapping tightly around associated proteins
What packages DNA and proteins in a eukaryotic nuclei?
DNA is in chromosomes.They are super coiled in chromosomes.
What is the name of the family of DNA binding proteins that function to package DNA into chromatin?
histones are the proteins that compact and order DNA into subunits in the first step of the making of chromatin
Does a chromosome contain histone?
Histones are proteins that aid the condensation of the DNA. Condensation makes the DNA more compact so it would fit in the cells. In this compaction process, DNA is winded around these proteins.
What are chromosomes and genes composed of?
Genes are composed of DNA. Chromosomes are composed of DNA and proteins. Genes are the sections of DNA which code for a functional product (such as a protein). Chromosomes are the compact, tightly-coiled form of DNA. These appear before the cell undergoes division/replication.

What is a name for packages of DNA?
the nucleus
How would DNA make itself more compact?
Acetylation is the compacting of a DNA molecule, making it more compact and reduces its ability to be transcribed.
What packages DNA and proteins in a eukaryotic nuclei?
DNA is in chromosomes.They are super coiled in chromosomes.
What surrounds DNA RNA and ATP in living cells?
DNA is surrounded by Histone which packages up the DNA into chromosomes.
What wraps around proteins and then compact to form visible chromosomes?
DNA
How does a eukaryotic cell fit its entire DNA into the nucleus?
It wraps the DNA around proteins, and then coils further forming a compact fiber.
What is the name of the family of DNA binding proteins that function to package DNA into chromatin?
histones are the proteins that compact and order DNA into subunits in the first step of the making of chromatin
How does DNA makea itself more compact?
It wraps around histones and coils into a fiber
Why does DNA compact before a eukaryotic cell divides?
because it goes through the inzome process.
What is the Thread like strand made of DNA called?
Chromatin. The proteins are histones, used to organize and compact the DNA.
Why are DNA strands wound into the tight gene packages of chromosomes before mitosis begins?
Obama
