Chromatin coils and condenses to form deeply staining bodies?
Chromatin coils and condenses to form deeply-staining bodies in prophase. This is the first stage of mitosis, the process in which cells divide to create new cells.
What proteins are associated with DNA in the cell?
histones are the proteins that DNA coils aroudn
Which phase of mitosis contain chromatin coils and condenses to form deeply staining bodies?
prophase :)
DNA complexed with protein is called?
DNA complexed with proteins is chromatin. Chromatin condenses to form a chromosome. The definition of chromatin is "A complex of nucleic acids (e.g. DNA or RNA) and proteins (histones), which condenses to form a chromosome during cell division. In eukaryotic cells, it is found within the cell nucleus whereas in prokaryotic cells, it is found within the nucleoid. Its functions are to package DNA into a smaller volume to fit in the cell, strengthen the DNA to allow mitosis and meiosis, and to serve as a mechanism to control expression."
What is the relationship between double helix and chromosome?
2 DNA polynucleotide strands join together by hydrogen bonds between the bases. each base can only join with one particular partner- this is called specific pairing. Adenine always pairs with Thymine (A-T) and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine (G-C). the two strands wind up to form the DNA double-helix. the double-helix structure means DNA is very stable in the cell. :) x
How does DNA make itself more compact?
wrapping tightly around associated proteins

Chromosomes are strands of DNA wrapped around?
Chromosomes are not long strands of DNA. Genes are one form of long strands of DNA, specfied by meny amino acids, which are in turn specified by a codon, or three nucleotide bases. DNA actually coils or wraps around the chromosomes during certain stages of development.

What is the synonym and antonym for tendrils?
A synonym for "tendrils" is coils. An antonym for "tendrils" is straight strands. Please see the related link below.
What are strands of DNA wound around?
DNA coils around proteins called histones.
What are helix proteins?
There are no known proteins such as helix proteins. Alpha helix is a secondary structure element found in proteins that formed by amino acids which can form helix. Other secondary structures are beta sheets and random coils.
How can a heat pump warm a house by causing a refrigerant to evaporate and condense?
The refrigerant condenses inside coils from a vapor to a liquid. Then it releases heat to warm up the house.
How are long strands of DNA capable of fitting inside tiny molecules?
the DNA tightly coils around a group of bead like proteins called histones
Why do proteins have to coat the DNA in chromosome?
Certain proteins, called histones, act as spools, which wind up small stretches of DNA. Other proteins (including other histones) stabilize and support these spools, making a complex network of DNA coils and proteins. Did this help at all?
