How are DNA and chromosomes related?
Chromosomes are structures composed of DNA and proteins that are found in the nucleus of cells. DNA is coiled around proteins called histones to form chromatin, which further condenses to form chromosomes during cell division. Chromosomes contain the genetic information in the form of DNA that determines an organism's traits.
The DNA of a cell is organized into structures. What are these structures called?
chromosomes
Which organelle or cell structure would you expect to contain the most radioactivity after a DNA Synthesis?
The nucleus would contain the most radioactivity after DNA synthesis, as this is where DNA replication takes place. The newly synthesized DNA would thus be housed in the nucleus, making it the organelle most likely to be radioactively labeled.
What is located in the nucleus and contain DNA?
Technically the nucleus is the major part of a cell that holds the DNA of a cell, but it does sepatare into a form of multiple linear molecules of DNA that merge into the chromosomes. So, basically the nucleus and chromosomes contain DNA.
Do chromosomes contain mitochondria that determine which trait an organism will have?
No, chromosomes do not contain mitochondria. Mitochondria have their own DNA, separate from the DNA in the cell's nucleus. Traits are determined by the combination of genes on chromosomes, not by mitochondria.
Does the DNA must occur before a cell can divide?
Before a cell can separate, it has to unravel its chromosomes and clone all its DNA
How can some disorder be predicted?
Before a baby is born, doctors can do a karyotype. They extract some of the amniotic fluid, which contains some of the baby's DNA. Then they can "unravel" the DNA to see if there are any abnormal chromosomes.
If you unwrap the DNA you have in all your cells you could you reach the moon 6000 times?
If you were to unravel all the DNA in your cells end-to-end, it would stretch about 10 billion miles, not enough to reach the moon even once. It would, however, be long enough to wrap around the Earth about 400 times.
Does DNA contain 23 chromosomes?
No. DNA doesn't contain chromosomes. Chromosomes are DNA.
Is DNA located in chromosomes?
DNA is actually in cells. Chromosomes are found on DNA.

What is the link between DNA and chromosomes?
DNA is housed in chromosomes.
In what structure does Bacterial DNA resemble human DNA?
That they have both DNA Bacterial DNA is a (closed) circle, those of human is lineair (straight) if you stretch it. Bacterial DNA does not have Proteines, Human DNA has Proteines. Bacteria have also RNA The DNA of bacteria is easy to reach , those of human not.
Hwat are the stage of meiosis?
The stages of Mitosis are- The Begining- where everything in the cell is copied, including the DNA. Then the DNA is condensed into chromosomes. Phase 1 - The chromosomes begin to move towards the equator of the cell. Phase 2 - The chromosomes line up at the equator. Phase 3 - The cell starts to pull apart and the chromosomes split apart and move to opposite sides of the cell. Phase 4 - The chromosomes unravel to form DNA in the nucleus. Cytokinesis - The cytoplasm splits and the new cell membrane forms, this results in two new daughter cells.
What is the relationship of DNA and chromosomes?
Chromosomes are you're genetic makeup which is what DNA is
The DNA of a cell is organized into structures. What are these structures called?
chromosomes
Do DNA have chromosomes?
No though DNA is in chromosomes DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid and those acids are composed in DNA
