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.
What nucleus acid is called that makes up a chromosome?
The nucleic acid chains usually sit around uncoiled as loose strands. When it is time for the cell to reproduce, they condense and wrap up very tightly. The tightly wound DNA is called a chromosome. Chromosomes look kind of like long, limp hot dogs. They are also found in pairs.
What are strands of DNA wound around?
DNA coils around proteins called histones.
Are chromosome more condense than chromatin?
Yes, you can think of chromosomes tightly wound up DNA and chromatin as unwound DNA.
What is found inside the nucleus that controls all the cells activities?
The nucleus of eukaryotic cells contains chromosomes composed of DNA wound around histones. The DNA contains this information.
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.

When will you use the word tightly?
You will use the word tightly (an adverb) when an action is causing tightness or tension, (as in a rope, string, or spring), or when objects are in close contact. You must hold onto the rope tightly. A torniquet is wrapped tightly on the arm above the wound. The mainspring of a watch is tightly wound by twisting the watch stem. The rivet fits tightly into the hole to connect the metal parts. Be sure that the plug is tightly connected to the receptacle.

Chromosomes are made up of structures called?
Tightly wound and bundled strands of DNA.
What are the release dates for Whose Wedding Is It Anyway - 2003 Tightly Wound and Chilling Out 5-5?

What is underneath a hard cricket ball?

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).
The tightly wound cell membrane around the axon forms the myelin sheath and as acts as what?
jesus save me
What is a sentence using the word constant?
The gauze bandage was held tightly so as to keep constant pressure on the wound.
