What is DNA in it's uncoiled form
Coiled up DNA, combined with protein histone, forms chromosomes.
When DNA is in its coiled up form, it is called a chromosome. These exist in the nucleus of each cell.
The threads, chromatin, are coiled into a tight dense mass of DNA to form a chromosome.
Using protein histones, the DNA coils to form nucleosomes, which further coils to form chromosomes.
When DNA is twisted it is called a double helix and when DNA is coiled folded and twisted into short consended strands it is called alpha halix
Coiled up DNA, combined with protein histone, forms chromosomes.
Chromosomes
2 coiled DNA molecules.
A coiled piece of DNA is called a plasmid, found in prokaryotic cells.
DNA ans histones proteins coil to form rod shaped structures called chromosomes.
chromatin
Location: within the nucleus Form: Highly condensed and super coiled. Found associated with proteins called histones
