What is a threadlike structure in the nucleus?

Answer 1

Tuscania answer:

CHROMATINWhen a cell is not dividing, its DNA is combined with protein and forms a loose network of bumpy threads called chromatin (kro'mah-tin) that is scattered throughout the nucleus. When a cell is dividing to form two daughter cells, the chromatin threads coil and condense to form dense, rodlike bodies called chromosomes. Chromatin is the structures in the nucleus that carry the hereditary factors (genes).

kxayasane answer:

I am taking anatomy right now and I think the answer you are looking for is chromatin. Look it up, already!!

Could be DNA or maybe RNA. DNA is a long coiled strand.

Booh-kitty answer:

DNAAlso called dioxyribonucleic acid, with nucleic being the adjective form for something inside of the nucleus, the core of every atom.

DNA is also known as the double helix or the hourglass, as double helixes look like hourglasses and vice versa.

Answera strand of DNA

Answer 2

I would suggest being more specific with your question or, more specifically, actually asking a question. There are arguably several types of thread-like structures in the nucleus of a biological cell, most notably deoxyribonuleic acid, or DNA, which stores the genetic information of the organism. If you're asking about structures that may be visible to the eye under a light microscope after staining (or some other contrast enhancing technique), DNA as a single strand would be too small to see (would need to be magnified 1 million times to be a millimeter thick), but it's larger organizational structure, called chromatin, might be visible. It could also be the nuclear lamina, a network of threadlike proteins creating a structural scaffolding under the surface of the nuclear bi-membrane. Really depends on the scale you're talking about.

Answer 3

The thread like structures in cell nuclei are called Chromosomes. Each cell in the body has 23 chromosomes. They are made of protein structures called genes. Genes are made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), and determine every personal characteristic like hair and eye color etc.

Answer 4

Chromatin, the nuclei's DNA when its not undergoing mitosis.

Answer 5

chromatin, which is DNA wrapped around proteins.

Answer 6

Chromosomes are the threadlike structures in the nucleus

Answer 7

Chromatin

Answer 8

chromosome
