Genes are arranged on twisted strands called?

Genes are arranged on twisted strands called chromosomes. Each chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes, which are the basic units of heredity and contain the instructions for building and maintaining an organism.


Are genes arranged in coiled strands called centromeres?

No, the centromere only serves to hold two sister chromatids together.


What enzyme do scientists use to cut genes out of strands of DNA?

Scientists use an enzyme called restriction enzyme to cut genes out of strands of DNA.


What are coiled strands genetic material called?

genes or dna


Genes are located on structures called what?

The structures are called chromosomes.


How are genes organized in organisms?

Genes are organized in organisms on structures called chromosomes. Chromosomes contain long strands of DNA that are made up of genes. Genes are arranged in a linear fashion along the length of chromosomes, with each gene encoding specific instructions for producing proteins or controlling various traits in the organism.


How many strands are there in DNA and what is their significance in genetic information?

DNA consists of two strands that are twisted together in a double helix structure. These strands contain genetic information in the form of genes, which determine an organism's traits and characteristics. The pairing of the strands allows for the accurate replication and transmission of genetic information during cell division and reproduction.


What are the long chains that DNA make up?

DNA is made of two strands (chains) of DNA nucleotides that are twisted, forming a double helix, often compared to a twisted ladder. The two strands are held together by hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases.


What are thin long strands of DNA that are coiled folded and twisted into short condensed strands?

Thin long strands of DNA that are coiled, folded, and twisted into condensed structures are called chromosomes. Chromosomes contain genes that carry the instructions for inherited traits and are organized within the nucleus of a cell. During cell division, chromosomes are visible as distinct entities under a microscope.


Where is the genes stored in a cell?

Genes are stored in the cell's nucleus in structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome contains long strands of DNA, which are made up of genes that carry the instructions for making proteins and controlling cell functions.


In bacteria genes occur as what?

plasmids...circular strands of DNA


What characteristics do chromosomes and genes share?

The cell's nuclear genome is contained within the genes that are located inside of the chromosomes. Chromosomes are thread like structures and are located inside of the nucleus in animal and plant cells.
