Information for the operation of the cell is encoded in linear structures called?
DNA is threadlike, but it's packaged into chromatin when the cell is operating normally and chromosomes when the cell is dividing.
In which form is the DNA present in a cell when the cell is not dividing?
During G1 and G2 DNA is in the form of nucleosomes - or 10nm fibre.
When the DNA in a cell is uncoiled and spread throughout the nucleus it is called?
The most tightly-coiled form of DNA is a chromosome.
What does the DNA look like in a cell that is ready to divide?
When cells are not actively dividing, the DNA just looks like grainy blobs.
Where in a cell is DNA found?
DNA is found in the nucleus of eukaryotes or in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes. The DNA forms complex strands known as chromatin, and when dividing, chromosomes.
Information for the operation of the cell is encoded in linear structures called?
DNA is threadlike, but it's packaged into chromatin when the cell is operating normally and chromosomes when the cell is dividing.
What is DNA in a non-dividing cell called?
It's called euchromatin, and is attached to histones.
What is the name for the structure in the nucleus of the cell which contains DNA and can be best seen when the cell is dividing?
Chromosomes are structures in the nucleus of the cell which contain DNA and can best be seen when the cell is dividing.
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.
In which form is the DNA present in a cell when the cell is not dividing?
During G1 and G2 DNA is in the form of nucleosomes - or 10nm fibre.
What forrm do you find DNA in when the cell is dividing?
It is condensed into chromosomes.
How DNA present in not dividing cell?
When the cell isn't dividing, DNA is found in chromosomes within the nucleus. During this phase, which is called interphase, DNA is called chromatin but isn't visible, even under a microscope.
What are the dark staining regions in the the nucleus of a non-dividing cell which are composed of tightly coiled strands of DNA called?
Condensed chromatin
What is the physical structure of the DNA in a non-dividing cell?
Double helix
Where can you find DNA in a non - dividing cell?
anywhere example skin
What is the dividing stage?
Interphase is considered non-dividing, but that doesn't mean that the cell's organelles and DNA aren't replicating.
What is the name of the process of a cell dividing into 4 cells with half the DNA?
Meiosis.
