Histones and DNA. DNA holds the genetic information. Histones are simply proteins which help organize DNA and compress it. DNA wraps around "bead-like" histones to make "beads on a string"

A bacterium has one that holds its genetic material?
yes. it has only one chromosome that holds its genetic material, however they may also have plasmids that contain genetic material
What is the genetic cause of progeria?
It is caused by a mutation in the gene called LMNA. The LMNA gene produces the Lamin A protein which holds the nucleus of a cell together. Researchers now believe that the defective lamin A protein makes the nucleus unstable. That cellular instability causes premature aging.
What is a structure within a cell that contains a cell's genetic information?
the nucleus.
Why are animal cellls important?
Animal cells are important because the nucleus holds genetic information (DNA), which helps us remember. The cell membrane controls what enters and leaves the cell. The cytoplasm is where all the chemical reactions take place to help the cell.
Are robos intelligent than man?
Never. do you know how much a human brain holds? 1000 times than the latest computer holds. everyday we have information put in our brain that allows us to remember things.
Where is genetic information is found in a cell?
=== === The chromosomes in a cell contain genetic information since DNA is found in a chromosome which holds genetic onformation.
What does the chromosome's do?
A chromosome holds genetic information for the organism.
A bacterium has one that holds its genetic material?
yes. it has only one chromosome that holds its genetic material, however they may also have plasmids that contain genetic material
Which organelle in a plant or animal cell contains genetic information?
In the DNA on chromosomes, found in the nucleus (of Eukaryotic cells).
What is a structure within a cell that contains a cells genetic information?
The nucleus holds the genetic information of a cell.
Which organelle holds genetic information in the molecule DNA?
Vacuole
What stores genetic information in cells?
DNA is the molecule that holds the genetic information in all cellular forms of life and some viruses. Occasionally, RNA also stores genetic information in cells.
What is the relationship between a gene DNA and chromosome?
Chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins. DNA holds the information that encodes for genes.
Which macromolecule holds your genetic information providing the instructions to manufacture proteins?
DNA
What chromosome holds the gene for beta globin?
Chromosome 11
Which type of nucleic acid molecules is capable of storing and transferring information in a cell?
DNA is the molecule that holds the genetic information in all cellular forms of life and some viruses. Occasionally, RNA also stores genetic information in cells.
What is the area in the center of the chromosome which holds the two sides together?
The centromere is the area at the center of a chromosome that holds the two chromatids together.
