Chromosomes are made up of structures called?
Tightly wound and bundled strands of DNA.
Chromosomes is composed of DNA and proteins which are tightly compacted and condensed?
Yes - chromosomes are composed of compact DNA which is wound around proteins (called histones).
Are chromosomes tightly packed DNA or loosely packed DNA?
Chromosomes are tightly packed DNA. When DNA is not tightly packed it is called chromatin. Chromosomes only exist during mitosis or meiosis.
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.
Is DNA is tightly packaged into structures called genes?
no
What is it called when the nucleus of the cell are made of tightly wound stance of DNA?
When DNA is packed up tightly in dividing cells, it is referred to as a chromosome. The packing process is called DNA condensation.
Chromosomes are made up of structures called?
Tightly wound and bundled strands of DNA.
Chromosomes is composed of DNA and proteins which are tightly compacted and condensed?
Yes - chromosomes are composed of compact DNA which is wound around proteins (called histones).
What do you call a bundle of DNA?
"bundles" of genetic material in a cell's nucleus are called chromosomes.
Are chromosome more condense than chromatin?
Yes, you can think of chromosomes tightly wound up DNA and chromatin as unwound DNA.
Are chromosomes tightly packed DNA or loosely packed DNA?
Chromosomes are tightly packed DNA. When DNA is not tightly packed it is called chromatin. Chromosomes only exist during mitosis or meiosis.
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.
Is DNA is tightly packaged into structures called genes?
no
What are strands of DNA wound around?
DNA coils around proteins called histones.
What is wound up DNA called?
Chromosomes genes
What structure allows enormous lengths of DNA to be folded into the nucleus?
The nucleosome. The nucleosome consists of DNA wound tightly around a protein called histone. This winding is sort of like coiling up a rope, and allows DNA to be packaged into a smaller space than would otherwise be achieved.
DNA is often tightly wound into structures called?
DNA is located in chromosomes inside the nucleus of a cell. This is called nuclear DNA. An organism's complete set of nuclear DNA is called its genome. Humans have a small amount of DNA found in structures mitochondria, which generates the energy the cell needs to function properly.
