How are chromosomes described?
coiled strands of genetic material
Coiled strands in the cell nuclei that contain genetic information?
Deoxyribonucleic acid...also know as DNA.
What are coiled strands genetic material called?
genes or dna
Is the genetic information found in disorganized strands called chromosomes chromatin chromatids or spindle?
The genetic information found in disorganized strands is called chromatin. Chromosomes are tightly coiled and organized structures made up of chromatin. Chromatids are the duplicated strands of a chromosome, while the spindle is a structure involved in cell division.
Which structure is tightly coiled and contains hereditary material?
The tightly coiled structure that contains hereditary material in a cell is the chromosome. Chromosomes are composed of DNA and proteins, and they carry genetic information that determines an organism's traits.
What does the chromosomes of a cell do?
The chromosomes in a cell carry genetic information called DNA. DNA strands are coiled and then coiled again (supercoiled) to create chromosomes. Chromosomes are only visible in cells during Mitosis (division of the cell). Chromotids (Paired Chromosomes) split during Mitosis to give each daughter cell identical information. So in general chromosomes carry strands of DNA and DNA carries the genetic information for all organisms and DNA also replicates to form RNA which produces protein chains (chains of amino acids) for the organism and cells to use.
What Contains DNA in the form of chromosomes?
The nucleus of a cell contains DNA in the form of chromosomes. Chromosomes are structures made up of tightly-coiled DNA and proteins, and they are responsible for carrying an organism's genetic information.
What are coiled protein strands that have barbs tipped with poison?
A nematocyst is a coiled protein strands that have barbs tipped with poison. It is a capsule within a specialized cells.
What is the shape of a DNA molecule formed when two twisted DNA strands are coiled into a springlike structure and held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases?
The shape of a DNA molecule formed by two twisted strands coiled into a springlike structure and held by hydrogen bonds is called a double helix. The two strands run in opposite directions and are connected by complementary base pairs (adenine-thymine, guanine-cytosine). This structure allows for the genetic information to be stored and replicated accurately.
Relationship between chromatin and DNA?
DNA is the genetic information in an individual it is coiled into small ball like structures called histones histones are coiled into small structures called nucleosomes the nucleosomes are then coiled into chromatin, which is our chromosomes
Chromosomes are made up of structures called?
Chromosomes are made up of structures called DNA, which is tightly coiled around proteins called histones. DNA contains the genetic information that is passed onto offspring and is organized into genes that encode for specific traits or functions.
Number of DNA molecules in a chromosomes?
Each chromosome contains a single DNA molecule that is highly compacted and coiled around proteins. This single DNA molecule contains all the genetic information for an organism.
