Chromosomes pair up with their partners and then divide, and are distributed into cells after 2 nuclear divisions so that 4 cells are formed. Then these develop into gametes. The result is that each gamete contains half the normal number of chromosomes possessed by any ordinary body cell.

What are the tiny strands inside the nucleus that contain the instructions for directing the Cell's function?

i did this for homework it is the chromatin....... trust me guys :D


What is the material inside a cells nucleus?

Protoplasm is the living substance inside the cell. The protoplasm surrounding the cell is known as cytoplasm. The protoplasm inside the a cell's nucleus, is known as nucleoplasm or nuclear sap.


What is the cell nucleus made up of?

The cell nucleus is made up of chromatin, which consists of DNA and proteins that help organize and compact the genetic material. This genetic material contains the instructions for the cell's development and function. The nucleus also contains the nucleolus, which is involved in producing ribosomes.


The major structural difference between chromatin and chromosomes is that the latter are?

Chromosomes represent the very condensed form of the DNA, that develop during cell division. Chromatin is the loose form of DNA that goes under a series of condensation steps (nucleosome-chains, solenoids and finally chromosomes) in order to be able to split DNA in equal amounts between the 2 new cells.


What is the physical advantage of the chromatin coiling and condensing to form short chromosomes at the outset of mitosis?

makes chromosomes easy to locate and attached by the mitotic spindle for separation.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Or: The physical advantage is that it prevents the strands from snagging/catching each other, and then snapping during division.

Organelle formed from chromatin as a cell divides?

Chromosomes are formed from condensed chromatin as a cell divides during mitosis. Chromosomes are the structures that contain the genetic material (DNA) and are replicated and divided equally between the daughter cells to ensure proper genetic inheritance.


What happens to the info before the cell divides?

Your DNA is copied into the new cell every time it divides


When a cell divides do the chromatin condense into chromosomes?

Yes, during cell division, chromatin condenses into distinct structures called chromosomes, which are visible under a microscope. This condensation allows the DNA to be properly organized and separated during cell division.

When a cell divides however blank condenses to form blank?

When a cell divides, chromatin condenses to form chromosomes. This condensation allows the genetic material to be organized and segregated properly during cell division, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an accurate copy of the DNA.
