The single strands of DNA are wound together to form a?
centrometer
What is it called when long strands of DNA are wrapped around themselves?
chromatin
What were the drawbacks to Rosalind Franklin discovering DNA is a double helix?
they both have two strands of DNA wind around each other like a twisted ladder.The strands are complementary.
Chromosomes are strands of DNA wrapped around?
Chromosomes are not long strands of DNA. Genes are one form of long strands of DNA, specfied by meny amino acids, which are in turn specified by a codon, or three nucleotide bases. DNA actually coils or wraps around the chromosomes during certain stages of development.
If the DNA strands are matched up what does that mean?
This means the two strands of DNA are complementary.
What is the name for strands of DNA wound around proteins?
chromosomes. The DNA is genes that are tightly wrapped around proteins. The proteins are histones.
The single strands of DNA are wound together to form a?
centrometer
What term in used for the Watson and Crick model of DNA in which two strands are wound around each other?
double helix
Is chromatin made up of proteins and DNA or fats and proteins?
Chromatin is made up of DNA spirals. Chromatin makes up chromosomes.
Chromosomes are made up of structures called?
Tightly wound and bundled strands of DNA.
Why are DNA strands wound into the tight gene packages of chromosomes before mitosis begins?

Is DNA made if chromosomes?
No. DNA is what chromosomes are made of. DNA is wound around proteins like thread on a spool, but since DNA is one long"string", the DNA is wound around many protein "spools", all of which are connected by DNA. This string of DNA/protein "thread on spools" is wound around itself, and wound around itself, and wound around itself a lot more, then (after a pretty intricate process) Wala! You have a chromosome.
In living organisms DNA consists of two complementary strands wound together in a specific structure called a .?
double helix
How many DNA strands do goldfish have?
10000 DNA strands.
DNA consists of two complementary strands wound together in a specific structure called a?
double helix
What is it called when long strands of DNA are wrapped around themselves?
chromatin
How many strands is DNA made of?
DNA is composed of two strands of DNA nucleotides.
