Histones are proteins which are associated with DNA and from nucleosomes, which pack the DNA.
Transcription factors, proteins involved in DNA synthesis, replication...

∙ 14y agoThe DNA in a single cell would be about 2m in length if stretched from end to end. To fit all of this into a cell the DNA has to be compacted. It is wound around proteins called histone, and these bundles are continually wound to form the chromosomes you can see under a microscope.

∙ 13y agoDNA is not catalytic so, as it is only a recipe for proteins, it needs proteins to carry out all the catalytic functions, such as replication. Also DNA needs to have its enormous length wrapped around many histone proteins. RNA is catalytic though.

Would you find protein inside cells or cells inside proteins?
Proteins are found in cells. Proteins are a macromolecule.
What are proteins built inside of?
prexisting cells
What is the replication or synthesis of DNA and associated proteins that happens before cells divide?
Look up HeLa cells!
Almost all chemical reactions inside cells are catalyzed by which category of proteins?
Enzymes
What are the Names of the Cells in DNA?
DNA is not composed of cells. Cells do have DNA inside them. DNA is however made up of various proteins and those are Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine, and Adenine

What do the channel proteins in the cell membrane do?
Channel proteins, a type of transport proteins to the cells, move molecules from outside of the membrane to the inside

What are in viruses?
They don't belong to a kingdom because they are not cells. They are just genetic material wrapped in proteins that reproduce inside of cells.
