What is it called when the nucleus of the cell are made of tightly wound stance of DNA?
When DNA is packed up tightly in dividing cells, it is referred to as a chromosome. The packing process is called DNA condensation.
Are chromosome more condense than chromatin?
Yes, you can think of chromosomes tightly wound up DNA and chromatin as unwound DNA.
What is a chromosome and what is it made up of?
Cell. More specifically, in the nucleus of the cell.
What are strands of DNA wound around?
DNA coils around proteins called histones.
Do chromosomes include DNA molecules histones and nuclosomes?
Yes. Chromosomes are DNA that have been wound around histones to form nucleosomes. The nucleosomes that have condensed are what forms the complete chromosomes.

When DNA is packed up tightly in dividing cells, it is referred to as a chromosome. The packing process is called DNA condensation.
Chromosomes are made up of structures called?
Tightly wound and bundled strands of DNA.
Are chromosome more condense than chromatin?
Yes, you can think of chromosomes tightly wound up DNA and chromatin as unwound DNA.
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.
The tightly wound cell membrane around the axon forms the myelin sheath and as acts as what?
jesus save me
What is a chromosome and what is it made up of?
Cell. More specifically, in the nucleus of the cell.
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).
Are chromosomes tightly packed DNA or loosely packed DNA?
Chromosomes are tightly packed DNA. When DNA is not tightly packed it is called chromatin. Chromosomes only exist during mitosis or meiosis.
What are strands of DNA wound around?
DNA coils around proteins called histones.
Do chromosomes include DNA molecules histones and nuclosomes?
Yes. Chromosomes are DNA that have been wound around histones to form nucleosomes. The nucleosomes that have condensed are what forms the complete chromosomes.
A rod-shaped structure that forms when a single DNA molecule and its associated proteins coil tightly before cell division is called?
Chromosome.
Is DNA made if chromosomes?
No. DNA is what chromosomes are made of. DNA is wound around proteins like thread on a spool, but since DNA is one long"string", the DNA is wound around many protein "spools", all of which are connected by DNA. This string of DNA/protein "thread on spools" is wound around itself, and wound around itself, and wound around itself a lot more, then (after a pretty intricate process) Wala! You have a chromosome.
