The chromosomes in a cell carry genetic information called DNA. DNA strands are coiled and then coiled again (supercoiled) to create chromosomes. Chromosomes are only visible in cells during Mitosis (division of the cell). Chromotids (Paired Chromosomes) split during Mitosis to give each daughter cell identical information. So in general chromosomes carry strands of DNA and DNA carries the genetic information for all organisms and DNA also replicates to form RNA which produces protein chains (chains of amino acids) for the organism and cells to use.
What else can I help you with?
Where is the location of the chromosomes in the cell?
the chromosomes are in the merherder region of the cell
Does a sperm cell have the same chromosomes as a cheek cell?
No, a sperm cell and a cheek cell do not have the same chromosomes. A sperm cell is a haploid cell containing 23 chromosomes, while a cheek cell is a somatic cell with 46 chromosomes, which is diploid.
If a cell division has 64 chromosomes how many chromosomes will the new cells have after cell division?
if a cell has 64 chromosomes together, all the offspring cells will have 64 chromosomes each.
What is a cell with pairs of chromosomes called and a cell with no pairs of chromosomes?
A cell with pairs of chromosomes is called a diploid cell, while a cell with no pairs of chromosomes is called a haploid cell. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, while haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes.
How many pairs of autosomal chromosomes do you have in a cell?
You have 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes in a cell and 1 pair of sexomal chromosomes in that same cell.
How many chromosomes does each new cell contains after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?
How many chromosomes does each new cell contain after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?
How many chromosomes does each new cell contain mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?
How many chromosomes does each new cell contain after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?
Part of the cell that holds the chromosomes?
part of cell that contains the chromosomes
What is cell with pairs of chromosomes called a cell with no pairs of chromosomes?
A cell with pairs of chromosomes is called a diploid cell, while a cell with no pairs of chromosomes is called a haploid cell. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, while haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes.
If a diploid cell containing 28 chromosomes undergoes meiosis how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?
Each daughter cell produced by meiosis will have half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell. So, if a diploid cell contains 28 chromosomes, each daughter cell will have 14 chromosomes after meiosis.
If there are 13 pairs of homologous chromosomes in the parental cell how many chromosomes are there in a sperm?
A sperm cell will have 23 chromosomes, half the number found in a somatic cell. So, if there are 13 pairs of homologous chromosomes in the parental cell, there would be 26 chromosomes in the parental cell, but the sperm cell would have 23 individual chromosomes.
How many chromosomes in one cell?
Humans typically have 46 chromosomes in each cell, with 23 pairs.
