What is the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic rrna?
While a eukaryote has a nucleus, the prokaryotic does not. The eukaryotic cell will wrap it's dna around histones, which are a type of protein. The prokaryotic cell combines multiple proteins which fold and condense it's DNA, which then coil up and wrap around the HU protein.
What is DNA wrapped around in a nucleosome?
They're called histone proteins. There are 8histones proteins in which a loop of DNA wraps around twice. Then another histone protein called the H1 linker binds them together.
What are the Spherical protein molecules around which DNA wraps?
Histones
In order for the DNA molecule to get short and fat to become a chromosome it must first wrap around small molecules called?
In order for DNA to exist in the condensed, super-coiled form, it must wrap around proteins called histones
What is the long strand of DNA and protein?
What long strands of DNA and Protein are chromatin

Is DNA a protein or not?
That depends. DNA undergoing replication is assisted by varieties of proteins to make a new strand. Also, in order for DNA to be coiled into chromosomes, the DNA must be wrapped around the protein histone. But in the actual structure of DNA, no, there are no proteins.
What is the process in which homologous chromosomes wrap around each around each and exchange DNA?
crossing over
DNA is wrapped around a special type of protein?
Histones.
What are the Spherical protein molecules around which DNA wraps?
Histones
What is DNA tightly wrapped around?
The protein histone primarily.

Is DNA made if chromosomes?
No. DNA is what chromosomes are made of. DNA is wound around proteins like thread on a spool, but since DNA is one long"string", the DNA is wound around many protein "spools", all of which are connected by DNA. This string of DNA/protein "thread on spools" is wound around itself, and wound around itself, and wound around itself a lot more, then (after a pretty intricate process) Wala! You have a chromosome.
How do chromosomes turn into DNA?
Replication chemicals trigger during cell replication trigger DNA to wrap tightly around histone octamers (histone proteins) to create nucleosomes, for DNA synthesis. This happens during the prophase stage of cell replication.
What must DNA do Before chromosomes can form?
DNA wraps around protein before chromosomes can form.
What type of molecule is a histone?
Protein Molecules. "Dna coild around protein molecules called histones."
