What nucleus acid is called that makes up a chromosome?
LamarFarmerfb7753
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 is responsible for carrying thee messages from DNA in the nucleus out into thee cytoplasm?
The part of the nucleus that carries coded information called genes is the chromosome. The chromosome is a threadlike structure of nucleic acid and proteins.
What do you call a bundle of DNA?
"bundles" of genetic material in a cell's nucleus are called chromosomes.
What molecule is a chromosome made of?
protein and DNA Each chromosome in the nucleus includes one macromolecule of DNA, folded and coiled with protein molecules to reduce its size.
What is the sequence of DNA on a chromosome called?
A small section that codes for one amino acid is called a codon. A section that codes for proteins is called a gene.
Where do we find genes?
Genes are in the Deoxyribonucleuc Acid (DNA), which is in the chromosomes, which is in the nucleus of every cell, which makes up our tissues which makes up our organs which make up the organ system, which then (finally) we have the complete organism.
Where can nucleic acid be found in a cell?
It is found in the nucleus! That is where all DNA and information of the cell is stored.

The part of the nucleus that carries coded information called genes is the chromosome. The chromosome is a threadlike structure of nucleic acid and proteins.
What do you call a bundle of DNA?
"bundles" of genetic material in a cell's nucleus are called chromosomes.
The chemical that makes up most of a chromosome is commonly called RNA?
Chromosomes are made from long, coiled molecules of DNA. DNA is the material inside the nucleus of cells that carries genetic information.
What is the acid called that's inside the nucleus?
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
What are threadlike structures in a nucleus of cells that contain genes?
chromosome
Structures in the nucleus that contain hereditary material?
The structure in the nucleus that contains hereditary material is the chromosome. Chromosomes are long, organized structures that are made of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
Why nucleic acid is called nucleic acid?
Because it is used in the nucleus of a cell.
What structures contain the genes for the traits?
Chromosome present in nucleus of eukaryotic cells .
What molecule is a chromosome made of?
protein and DNA Each chromosome in the nucleus includes one macromolecule of DNA, folded and coiled with protein molecules to reduce its size.
What acid makes you different to everyone else?
The acid that makes you different from everybody else is called Deoxynucleic Acid (DNA).
What is the sequence of DNA on a chromosome called?
A small section that codes for one amino acid is called a codon. A section that codes for proteins is called a gene.
