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.
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.
Yes, although it has less DNA and is smaller than its partner the X chromosome
From smallest to largest: DNA (where DNA = short sequences of nucleotides) gene chromosome nucleus sperm 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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
genome -> chromosome -> DNA -> gene
Yes, although it has less DNA and is smaller than its partner the X chromosome
The second statement would be more correct.
every and any DNA strand can constitue to a chromosome :)
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.
it would be 1st chromosome. then gene. then DNA
Yes, you can think of chromosomes tightly wound up DNA and chromatin as unwound DNA.
