What is the structure of all the chromosomes?

Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.Chromosomes are made up of chromatin, tangled DNA networks, that are 'super-coiled' and large enough to be seen by a microscope.


What basic protein forms the unit around which DNA is coiled in the nucleosomes of eukaryotic chromosomes?

Histones are the basic proteins that form the unit around which DNA is coiled in the nucleosomes of eukaryotic chromosomes. These proteins help to package and condense the DNA within the cell nucleus.


Chromatids are made of a molecule called?

Chromatids are made of DNA molecules that are tightly coiled around proteins called histones. These DNA molecules contain the genetic information that is passed from one generation to the next.


What are chromosomes mostly made of?

Chromosomes are mostly made of DNA, which contains the genetic information of an organism. DNA is tightly coiled around proteins called histones to form chromatin, which then condenses into visible chromosomes during cell division.


How are long strands of DNA capable of fitting inside tiny molecules?

How are chromosomes DNA related?

Chromosomes are tightly coiled structures of DNA (and proteins).


Do proteins help support DNA structure and its functions?

DNA encodes proteins so all proteins are derived from a section of DNA (a gene). Within the chromosome though, DNA is very tightly packaged, being coiled and super-coiled, and then wrapped around protein histones. This dramatically reduces the length of DNA so that it can be packed into the nucleus of a cell. As well as this, enzymes which are made up of proteins are used in the process of transcription and translation, which is where the DNA is read leading to the production of proteins. Some of these enzymes include DNA helicase (involved in the unwinding of the DNA duplex) and DNA polymerase (synthesises the nucleotides of DNA together into a strand).


What packages DNA and proteins in a eukaryotic nuclei?

DNA is in chromosomes.They are super coiled in chromosomes.


Does protein produce DNA?

DNA are not chemically having protein. But DNA are coiled to chromatin structures by proteins called histones. DNA can interact with proteins for various reason including DNA replication.DNA are not chemically bonded with proteins. But they do interact with protins for various process including DNA replication. In nucleus, DNA coiled to form chromatin structures by histone proteins.


What is a chromosome made up of?

Chromosomes are made of a single strand of DNA. There are also some proteins that are bound to this DNA in order to manage it and keep it coiled, these are also sometimes referred to as part of the chromosome.
