DNA is stored in threadlike, tangled structures called chromatin within the nucleus of a cell. The the chromatin forms into chromosomes during mitosis. Heredity information carried in the chromosomes is passed into the two newly formed cells each time a cell divides.

Which protein essential for chromatin formation is?

Histones are essential proteins for chromatin formation. They help in packaging DNA into the chromatin structure by wrapping around the DNA and organizing it into nucleosomes.


The assembly of ribosomes begins in a small dense structure called the chromatin true or false?

False. The assembly of ribosomes begins in a small dense structure called the nucleolus, not the chromatin.


How is DNA packaged into a chromosome?

DNA is packaged into a chromosome by wrapping around proteins called histones, forming a structure known as chromatin. This chromatin then coils and condenses to create the compact structure of a chromosome.


Is naked DNA called chromatin?

No, naked DNA is not called chromatin. Chromatin refers to the complex of DNA and proteins that make up a chromosome. Naked DNA refers to DNA that is not associated with proteins or organized into chromatin structure.
