DNA is the molecular code that contains genetic information, while a chromosome is a structure made up of DNA and proteins that stores and organizes the DNA in a cell. Chromosomes are made up of long strands of DNA wrapped around proteins, and humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes found in the nucleus of each cell.
What else can I help you with?
At the beginning of cell division DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called an?
At the beginning of cell division, DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called a chromosome. Chromosomes are visible under a microscope and contain the genetic material (DNA) of an organism.
Does The Y chromosome have any DNA?
Yes, although it has less DNA and is smaller than its partner the X chromosome
Can you arrange the following in order from largest to smallest in size DNA NucleotideNucleuscell chromosome?
From smallest to largest: DNA (where DNA = short sequences of nucleotides) gene chromosome nucleus sperm cell
What is the length of DNA in each chromosome is longer than the diameter of the animal cell?
The DNA in each chromosome is longer than the diameter of an animal cell. Chromosomes are necessary to package and organize the long strands of DNA within the cell's nucleus. The DNA in a typical animal cell is tightly coiled and packaged to fit within the nucleus, which is much smaller than the length of the DNA in its extended form.
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.
What are the 4 types of DNA?
autosomal dna, X chromosome, Y chromosome,and mitochondrial
At the beginning of cell division DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called an?
At the beginning of cell division, DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called a chromosome. Chromosomes are visible under a microscope and contain the genetic material (DNA) of an organism.
Do chromosomes contain all of your dna?
Each chromosome contains a section of your DNA. a human has 23 pairs of chromosomes, and each part contains instructions for different things. The 23rd chromosome is where the sex is decided in humans, as the pair is either XY for a male or XX for a female. Different animals have different chromosome numbers, which is why they cannot breed with different species.
What is the order of size between codon chromosome nucleotide DNA and nucleosome?
this is incorrect question, because the size of the DNA is not specified. Without the DNA, it is chromosome > nucleosome > nucleotide. The actual DNA cannot be longer than a chromosome and nucleotide is a monomer of polymeric DNA, so DNA should be somewhere between chromosome and nucleotide.
Is a chromosome smaller than DNA?
Yes, a chromosome is a structure made up of DNA wrapped around proteins. DNA is a molecule that carries genetic information, while chromosomes are made of DNA and associated proteins that help in organizing and packaging the DNA inside the cell nucleus.
What is the most broadest category to most specific category in genetic material in DNA?
genome -> chromosome -> DNA -> gene
Does The Y chromosome have any DNA?
Yes, although it has less DNA and is smaller than its partner the X chromosome
Is the chromosome a part of a DNA or is a DNA a part of a chromosome?
The second statement would be more correct.
How many DNA strands constitute a chromosome?
every and any DNA strand can constitue to a chromosome :)
Is it true or false The length of DNA ina chromosome may be as much as 10000 times as long as the chromosome itself?
True. The DNA in a chromosome is tightly packaged and condensed, so the actual length of DNA in a chromosome can be much longer than the physical length of the chromosome itself. This is possible due to the coiling and folding of DNA around histone proteins to form chromatin, allowing for a significant amount of genetic material to be compacted within a small space.
What is the order if gene and chromosome and DNA had to be put in smallest to biggest?
it would be 1st chromosome. then gene. then DNA
Are chromosome more condense than chromatin?
Yes, you can think of chromosomes tightly wound up DNA and chromatin as unwound DNA.
