DNA is located in chromosomes inside the nucleus of a cell. This is called nuclear DNA. An organism's complete set of nuclear DNA is called its genome. Humans have a small amount of DNA found in structures mitochondria, which generates the energy the cell needs to function properly.

What is Tightly wound bundles of DNA are called?

Tightly wound bundles of DNA are called chromosomes. These structures contain genetic information that is passed down from one generation to the next and are found in the nucleus of a cell. Chromosomes play a critical role in cell division, gene expression, and inheritance.


What structures in cells contain DNA and protein?

Nucleus.


Chromosomes are made up of structures called?

Chromosomes are made up of structures called DNA, which is tightly coiled around proteins called histones. DNA contains the genetic information that is passed onto offspring and is organized into genes that encode for specific traits or functions.


What is it called when the nucleus of the cell are made of tightly wound stance of DNA?

When DNA is packed up tightly in dividing cells, it is referred to as a chromosome. The packing process is called DNA condensation.


The proteins in the chromosomes provide spool-like support on which DNA is wound These structures are called?

nucleosomes


What structures are in the nucleus that contains DNA?

The structures in the nucleus that contain DNA are chromosomes. DNA molecules are tightly wound around proteins called histones to form chromatin, which further condenses into chromosomes during cell division. These chromosomes carry the genetic information necessary for cell function and reproduction.


When will you use the word tightly?

You will use the word tightly (an adverb) when an action is causing tightness or tension, (as in a rope, string, or spring), or when objects are in close contact. You must hold onto the rope tightly. A torniquet is wrapped tightly on the arm above the wound. The mainspring of a watch is tightly wound by twisting the watch stem. The rivet fits tightly into the hole to connect the metal parts. Be sure that the plug is tightly connected to the receptacle.


Is a tightly wound spring potential or kinetic energy?

A tightly wound spring stores potential energy. When the spring is released and unwinds, the potential energy is converted into kinetic energy as the spring moves and does work.


How chromosome contain DNA?

Chromosomes are structures made of DNA and proteins that carry genetic information. The DNA is tightly wound around proteins called histones, forming a complex called chromatin. This chromatin further condenses to form chromosomes during cell division to ensure the accurate segregation of genetic material to daughter cells.
