Coiled up DNA, combined with protein histone, forms chromosomes.
What else can I help you with?
What scientist proposed that DNA was a triple stranded helix?
Maurice Wilkins & Rosalind Franklin : they developed a high quality x-ray diffraction photographs of strands of DNA. these photographs suggested that the DNA molecule resembled a tightly coiled helix and and was composed of 2 or 3 chains of nucleotides .
DNA in thin thread like form is called?
chromotid
DNA is often tightly wound into structures called?
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.
Explain how DNA genes and chromosomes are related?
DNA is the molecule that genes are made of. Chromosomes are the (arbitrary) clumping that genes form in cells.
What is it called when a DNA copies itself?
DNA replication
What is the name of the rod-shaped structure of tightly coiled DNA found in the cell nucleus of plants and animals called?
The rod-shaped structure of tightly coiled DNA found in the cell nucleus of plants and animals is called a chromosome.
How are long strands of DNA capable of fitting inside tiny molecules?
the DNA tightly coils around a group of bead like proteins called histones
X-ray diffraction photographs by wilkins and Franklin suggest that?
DNA molecules are arranged as a tightly coiled helix. (:
How are chromosomes DNA related?
Chromosomes are tightly coiled structures of DNA (and proteins).
What consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins?
Chromosomes
When is DNA not tightly coiled into a chromosome?
S phase of Interphase
What eukaryotic chromosomes contain both DNA and protein tightly packed together to for a substance?
Eukaryotic chromosomes contain both DNA and protein tightly packed together to form Chromatin. Chromatin consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones. DNA and histone molecules form nucleosomes. These are all part of the structure of chromosomes.
What is the DNA called during prophase?
During prophase, DNA is condensed and tightly coiled into structures called chromosomes. These chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins and are visible under a microscope.
In eukaryotic chromosomes DNA is tightly coiled around proteins called?
The "beads on a string" are called nucleosomes.
What is the role or proteins in a chromosome?
Chromatin is tightly coiled and wrapped around proteins called histones to form structures called chromosomes
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 Contains DNA in the form of chromosomes?
The nucleus of a cell contains DNA in the form of chromosomes. Chromosomes are structures made up of tightly-coiled DNA and proteins, and they are responsible for carrying an organism's genetic information.
