Chromosomes, as a thread, use histone protein cores as spools that they use to wrap around and, hence, condense.
histone proteins and DNA
Histone proteins
Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of histone proteins and DNA. The histone proteins help to package and organize the DNA into a compact structure, called chromatin, which allows for efficient storage and regulation of genetic material.
The material of CHROMOSOMES. It is a complex of DNA; HISTONES; and nonhistone proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE) found within the nucleus of a cell.
study island question? haha this site is my savior the answer is chromosomes
You would find them in a nucleaus inside the cell.
Replication chemicals trigger during cell replication trigger DNA to wrap tightly around histone octamers (histone proteins) to create nucleosomes, for DNA synthesis. This happens during the prophase stage of cell replication.
DNA forms nucleosomes (beads on the string) by combining histone proteins, nucleosomes condense into chromatins before it forms Chromosomes
The "beads on a string" are called nucleosomes.
Chromatin is composed of DNA and histone proteins. Histone proteins help package and condense DNA into a complex structure that fits within the nucleus of a cell.
Chromatin consists of DNA wrapped around histone proteins. These histone proteins help condense the DNA into a more compact structure, which is necessary for packaging and regulating gene expression within the cell.
The complex of both histone and non-histone chromosomal proteins and DNA is known as chromatin.
