What is the role or proteins in a chromosome?
Chromatin is tightly coiled and wrapped around proteins called histones to form structures called chromosomes
Is the chromosome of a bacterium wrapped around proteins?
In order to fit within a cell, DNA becomes more compact by wrapping tightly around associated proteins. Chromatids are duplicate halves of a chromosome.
Do ribosomes help maintain the structure of chromosomes?
Chromatin is the condensed form of DNA wrapped tightly around the histones coiled over and over again. So technically DNA is the genetic material that rRNA (ribosomal RNA) is generated from. You can say that ribosomes the proteins themselves are transcribed originally from condensed DNA, or chromatin.
What is DNA tightly wrapped around?
The protein histone primarily.
What is the DNA in linear eukaryote chromosomes is wrapped around proteins?
Histones.
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.
Abe is a technician instructed to photograph some chromatids How would he distinguish a chromatid from a chromosome?
Chromatids would be long strings of genetic material not that easy to see under a microscope. A chromosome is bulky, as it is condensed DNA wrapped tightly around histone proteins. Chromatids are wrapped around histones too, but loosely.

What are in viruses?
They don't belong to a kingdom because they are not cells. They are just genetic material wrapped in proteins that reproduce inside of cells.

In order to fit within a cell, DNA becomes more compact by wrapping tightly around associated proteins. Chromatids are duplicate halves of a chromosome.
How are the long DNA molecules found in eukaryotes packed into short chromosome.?
Because the DNA molecules are twisted around and around. Almost like if you start twisting a string it will curl and then curl again upon itself.

The protein histone primarily.
What role do proteins play in enabling the enormous amount of DNA in a eukaryotic cell to lit into the nucleus and what are those proteins called?
Histones are proteins which help to tightly pack the DNA into the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. A histone octamer (8 histones together= 2 of H3, 2 of H4, 2 of H2A and 2 of H2B) is formed and the DNA is wrapped 1.65 times around these 8 tightly packed histones forming a nucleosome. There are many nucleosomes along the DNA and together they look similar to a pearl necklace, with the beads being the nucleosomes. The nucleosomes can then be packed together even more tightly (like in heterochromatin) by other proteins.Histones
Can you cook hamburger and stick it in the freezer?
Yes. Make sure it is tightly wrapped
What is a metaphor for a cabbage?
A cabbage can be metaphorically described as a tightly-wrapped bundle of layers, similar to how its leaves are tightly packed together to form a whole.
How do you properly refrigerate cookie dough?
Either wrapped in plastic wrap, or in a tightly sealed bowl.
