Genes are arranged on twisted strands called?
chromosomes
When DNA is coiled and folded and twisted into short condensed strands?
When DNA is twisted it is called a double helix and when DNA is coiled folded and twisted into short consended strands it is called alpha halix
What does DNA look like at the end of interphase?
The chromosomes are actually chromatin (in a jumbled up mess) and then form into chromosomes during the G2 phase hope i helped!
If the DNA molecule reresents a twisted ladder which chemical units form the sides of the ladder?
Alternating deoxyribose sugar and phosphate groups.
How is DNA arranged in the human genome and why 24?
DNA in the human genome is arranged into 24 distinct chromosomes. It is because of DNA's natural structure. DNA is composed of nucleic acids and it looks like a twisted ladder or a double helix.
Distinct threadlike structures containing genetic information are called?
They may be called several things. They could be called Chromosomes (however these are when the genetic information has been aggregated into bodies (usually resembling an X). It can be called DNA (meaning deoxyribonucleic acid) which is the long strand of information made of up base pairs which resembles a twisted ladder. A small segment of that ladder which produces only one protein may be called a Gene. (from whence we get the term genetics). When DNA is being used to make pieces of the cell and produce stuff in genera, it is transcoded into RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) which is a temporary form of the genetic information which can be taken from the nucleus of the cell where the DNA is stored and turned into protein elsewhere. This form of RNA is known as Messenger (m)RNA. containing genetic information: Chromatin condenses to form chromosomes. These distinct, threadlike structures contain the genetic information or DNA.

What is a thin form of DNA twisted strands found in nondividing cells?
The answer is chromosomes.
DNA is packaged into structures called?
Answer:chromatin not chromosomes. :DIt Is Chromosomes Not Chromatin:]
What is the rod-like structures in the nucleus that contain DNA?
chromosomes, are you doing the function of the organelles worksheet? ha ha I'm doing the function of the organelles worksheet and my stupid teacher didn't teach us what the hairlike structures with the capacity for movement is and i'm not talking about the cilia. the flagella is the hairlike structure with the capacity for movements.

Is a twisted spoon a chemical change?
Does the chemistry of the spoon change just because you bent it, or does it stay a metal spoon? That's how you know it's not a chemical change.
If the DNA molecule reresents a twisted ladder which chemical units form the sides of the ladder?
Alternating deoxyribose sugar and phosphate groups.
What does a priest read in church?
The Scriptures contain "The Word of God in the very words of God", the priest reads the Gospel at Mass.
Is a chromosomes a DNA molecule?
Yes, chromosomes are made of DNA and protein molecules called histones. Edit from another user: False, they're made of material called chromatin. Edit from user #3: Chromosomes and chromatin are actually the same thing, except in different form. Both chromosomes and chromatin are made up of a strand of DNA wrapped around histone protein, except chromatin is in a long and stringy form while chromosomes are a compacted and twisted version of chromatin.
How do you use twisted in a sentence?
I twisted my ankle.She has a twisted sense of humor.
