Found in the nucleus, they are composed of DNA which have the code for amino acid and protein synthesis. Chromosomes keep these strands of DNA organised into a sort of 'X' shape. During mitosis (division of cells), chromosomes make sure that the DNA when split, is intact and evenly distributed between the two daughter cells.
What else can I help you with?
Is a chromosome an animal cell or plant cell?
A chromosome contains genetic material in both plant and animal cells.
Is a chromosome a feature in a plant cell and animal cell?
Both
What is the amount of genes in an animal cell?
Genes and chromosome numbers vary from animal to animal
How many pairs of chromosome is present in animal cell?
23 pairs
What happens to the chromosome before an animal cell divides?
The chromosomes have to split and go to opposite sides of the cell.
Is chromosome found in animal cell or plant cell?
The best answer is "No."Both animal and plant cells can have chromosomes, but chromosomes are not cells, and certainly neither plant nor animal cells.Neither, it's part of genetics, as in the cell make up/genes etc. It is part of the cell not a cell.
What is the length of DNA in each chromosome is longer than the diameter of the animal cell?
The DNA in each chromosome is longer than the diameter of an animal cell. Chromosomes are necessary to package and organize the long strands of DNA within the cell's nucleus. The DNA in a typical animal cell is tightly coiled and packaged to fit within the nucleus, which is much smaller than the length of the DNA in its extended form.
What do animal cells have to help with chromosome movement?
Animal cells have structures called centrioles that help in chromosome movement during cell division. These centrioles form the spindle fibers that attach to the chromosomes and help to segregate them into the daughter cells. Additionally, motor proteins like dynein and kinesin also play a role in chromosome movement within the cell.
List these in order from smallest to largest chromosome gene cell?
Smallest to largest: Gene (a place on a chromosome); chromosome (there are 46 in human cells); and DNA (because it accounts for all the genetic material in a cell).
Is a chromatin found in plant cell or a animal cell?
Both. Chromatin is just the loosely wound, diffuse form of a chromosome that is the usual state in the cell's nucleus.
How does a bacteria cell differ from a plant or animal cell?
A bacteria cell differs structurally from plant and animal cells because of its small size. A bacteria cell has flagella outside of the cell to help it move. A bacteria cell does not contain organelles. Only the chromosome and sometimes ribosomes are visible in a bacteria cell.
