What is a list of the 3 parts of a chromosome?
Telomere - The ends of the chromosome. Centromere - The primary constriction of the chromosome. Chromatid - A single molecule of DNA. The centromere also divides the chromosome into a short arm (p) and a long arm (q).
What is a circular chromosome?
A circular chromosome is, essentially, exactly what it sounds like: a chromosome (strand of DNA that carries the genetic information of an organism) that is circular. Circular chromosomes are found in prokaryotes such as bacteria, as well as in mitochondria and chloroplasts. Eukaryotic cells, on the other hand, typically have chromosomes that are linear, meaning they have two ends that do not connect.
Explain how two genes on the same chromosome can still assort independently?
the genes are probably located close to each other.
Where in a cell are prokaryotic chromosomes found?
The region of the cytoplasm containing the DNA is called the nucleoid. The term "nucleus" is not appropriate, as there is no nuclear membrane.In bacteria there is a single chromosome, except in the interval between DNA replication and cell division. The chromosome is called circular, meaning that there are no free ends; the DNA molecule is in a loop.
Which chromosome structure duplicates itself as the cell ends metaphase?
centromere
What protects the ends of bones from wear and tear?

Which phase does chromosome strands separate toward opposite ends of the cell?
