What else can I help you with?
What is found in a non-dividing cell?
either the G (growth) 1 phase - pre-DNA synthesis, or the S phase - the period of DNA replication, or the G2 phase - post DNA synthesis, but not the M (mitosis) phase. If a cell cycle is 24 hours, the above phases take these times: G1: 10 hours, S: 9 hours, G2: 4 hours and M phase occurs in one hour.
Which membrane bound organelle is used to store nucleic acids within a eukaryotic cell?
The nucleus is the holder of DNA, while RNA is present throughout the cytoplasm of the cell.
What is happens during the s phase of the cell cycle?
DNA is replicated.
Why is DNA important to life?
so if there is a crime, police and invstigators can find out who did the crime because anything that they touch, they leave their DNA
How are characteristics transferred to the next generation?
DNA determines what characteristics the cell would have. When a cell divides, the chromosomes containing DNA are split in half. Half of the DNA from the original cell is carried by each of the resulting cells.
What forrm do you find DNA in when the cell is dividing?
It is condensed into chromosomes.
Where can you find DNA in a non - dividing cell?
anywhere example skin
What is the physical structure of the DNA in a non-dividing cell?
Double helix
What is the dividing stage?
Interphase is considered non-dividing, but that doesn't mean that the cell's organelles and DNA aren't replicating.
What is the name for the structure in the nucleus of the cell which contains DNA and can be best seen when the cell is dividing?
Chromosomes are structures in the nucleus of the cell which contain DNA and can best be seen when the cell is dividing.
What is the name of the process of a cell dividing into 4 cells with half the DNA?
Meiosis.
In what human cells would you find the highest concentration of DNA compared with other cell componenets?
The highest concentration of DNA in human cells is typically found in the cell nucleus, where it is organized into chromosomes. Other cell components, such as proteins and organelles, exist in lower quantities compared to the amount of DNA in the nucleus.
Why must cells be able to both transcribe and replicate their DNA?
The DNA only needs to replicate if the cell is going to divide. In a dividing cell the DNA must replicate in order to provide a complete copy of the genome to each new cell.
Does the DNA exist as a single chromosome in the given organism?
No, DNA does not exist as a single chromosome in most organisms. Instead, DNA is typically organized into multiple chromosomes within the nucleus of a cell.
How is the DNA is a prokaryote different from the DNA in the eukaryote?
DNA in prokaryotes is circular and in the cell itself, while the DNA of eukaryotes is coiled and in the nucleus (organelle) of the cell.
How is the DNA in prokaryote different from the DNA from the eukaryote?
DNA in prokaryotes is circular and in the cell itself, while the DNA of eukaryotes is coiled and in the nucleus (organelle) of the cell.
In which form is the DNA present in a cell when the cell is not dividing?
During the interphase stage of the cell cycle when the cell is not dividing, DNA is present in the form of chromatin. Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins, mainly histones, that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division. In its chromatin form, DNA is loosely packed and allows for gene expression and various cellular processes to occur.
