Does protein produce DNA?
DNA are not chemically having protein. But DNA are coiled to chromatin structures by proteins called histones. DNA can interact with proteins for various reason including DNA replication.DNA are not chemically bonded with proteins. But they do interact with protins for various process including DNA replication. In nucleus, DNA coiled to form chromatin structures by histone proteins.
Eukaryotic chromosomes contain both DNA and protein tightly packed together to form a substance called?
The complex of both histone and non-histone chromosomal proteins and DNA is known as chromatin.
What are the functions of chromosomes?
A chromosome is very tightly packed DNA. DNA stores the information that is used to synthesize proteins. Thus the entire makeup and organization of an organism relies on the information stored in the chromosomes. DNA becomes wrapped around proteins known as histones. 8 histones form a structure known as a nucleosome. Multiple nucleosomes condense together with the addition of another histone, H1 to form a 30 nanometer fiber. Scaffolding proteins further pack the 30 nanometer fiber into a chromosome.
How prokaryotes chromosomes differ from eukaryote?
A prokaryotic chromosome consists of a single molecule of DNA in the form of a closed loop. The chromosome is described as circular. A prokaryotic cell has only one chromosome. A eukaryotic chromosome is linear, not circular, in other words it has two ends, like a sausage. Each chromosome contains one molecule of DNA for the first half or so of interphase, then the DNA replicates, and the two DNA molecules remain together (as sister-chromatids) in the same chromosome for the rest of interphase. This does not happen in prokaryotic cells. Eukaryotic cells have more than onechromosome. A further difference: prokaryotic chromosomes consist only of a naked DNA molecule, but eukaryotic chromosomes also contain many molecules of proteins (mostly histones). The DNA is wound around these proteins.
What is the relationship between a gene DNA and chromosome?
Chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins. DNA holds the information that encodes for genes.
A special protein that forms part of the structure of a chromosome?
Most notably, the Histone proteins which, along with Dna, form the core of the 10 nm fibers.
What include the DNA molecules chromosomes nucleosomes histones?
A choromosome is made up of DNA strand and the folding of DNA to form a choromosome is done with the help of histone proteins so DNA with histone forms nucleosome which give rise to a structure known as chromosome

What is the role or proteins in a chromosome?
Chromatin is tightly coiled and wrapped around proteins called histones to form structures called chromosomes
What deos chromatin consist of?
Chromatin is made up of majorly DNA and a considerable amount of proteins (histones). "Beads on the string" structure (DNA coiled to the histones) condense the amount of DNA to form chromatins.
What is the condensed form of DNA referred as?
The highly condensed forms of DNA (and proteins) are known as chromosomes.
What is the differ chromatin and chromosomes?
Chromatin is DNA wrapped around a sequence of histone proteins (nuleosomes) to allow full strands of DNA to fit inside nucleus. At the beginning of cell division The histone proteins condense and join together to form a chromatid a copy of DNA also known as a chromosome. Sometimes one chromatid is present in a chromosone however prior to cell division this copy of DNA is duplicated to create a chromosone with two chromatids.
What do you call DNA in the nucleus before it condenses to form chromosomes?
DNA forms nucleosomes (beads on the string) by combining histone proteins, nucleosomes condense into chromatins before it forms Chromosomes
Which nucleic acid molecule contains protein?
Nucleic acid and proteins are different macromolecules that does not contain the other. However, there are some cases where the protein histone is wrapped by the DNA which then coils to form chromosomes.
