This answer will discuss the parts of a eukaryotic chromosome. Chromosomes consist of highly condensed DNA also called chromatin. The chromatin is organized into two arms: the shorter p arm and the longer q arm. Each chromosome contains a highly condensed region that separates the arms of the chromosome. This condensed region is called the centromere. The terminal ends of the chromosome are called telomere.

Are genes small segments of chromosomes?
Yes and No. Chromosomes are made of DNA wound around proteins. Genes are segments of the DNA that code for traits.
How are DNA and chromosomes related?
DNA and chromsones are practically the same thing the DNA is held within the chromosomes DNA is in the chromosomes. The chromosomes who the information from the DNA.
Which statements best describe the relationship between the terms chromosomes genes and nuclei?
Chromosomes: Contains genetic information that controls traits DNA: Self replication material present in nearly all living organisms Nucleus: The"control room" for the cell tells it what to do Relationship: The nucleus is the main components for the cell inside the nucleus are chromosomes inside the chromosomes are DNA on the DNA there are parts of it witch are Genes hoped i helped :)
The DNA of a cell is organized into structures. What are these structures called?
chromosomes
Crossing-over is the exchange of reciprocal segments of DNA between homologous chromosomes true or false?
It's true that crossing over is the exchange of reciprocal DNA parts between homologous chromosomes.
What happens to DNA and chromosomes when cells in most parts of the body divide?
The DNA and chromosomes divide with it
Where can we find our entire DNA code?
In chromosomes
What is the genetic code found in Chromosomes called?
DNA
What component contains the genetic code?
The genetic code is carried in the DNA on the chromosomes.
What is the chemical code that makes up the most of the chromosomes?
DNA
What is the chemical code that makes up most of the chromosomes?
DNA
Are genes small segments of chromosomes?
Yes and No. Chromosomes are made of DNA wound around proteins. Genes are segments of the DNA that code for traits.
How are genes relatd to DNA?
a gene is an area on a pair of chromosomes which code for a specific characteristic of DNA. For example if you have the gene for ginger hair on your chromosomes in your DNA you will be born with ginger hair
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.
How are DNA and chromosomes related?
DNA and chromsones are practically the same thing the DNA is held within the chromosomes DNA is in the chromosomes. The chromosomes who the information from the DNA.
Are genes carried on chromosomes?
Yes, genes are found on chromosomes. They are the sections of DNA that code for a functional product (a protein).
Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
