Is it true that Chromatin contains the instructions that direct the functions of a cell?

Yes. Chromatin refers to DNA in its native state in a cell - wrapped around histone proteins. Therefore, because DNA contains all the instructions to generate proteins and thereby influence cell activity the same can be accurately said of chromatin as well.


Is naked DNA called chromatin?

No, naked DNA is not called chromatin. Chromatin refers to the complex of DNA and proteins that make up a chromosome. Naked DNA refers to DNA that is not associated with proteins or organized into chromatin structure.


Is chromatin made up of proteins and DNA or fats and proteins?

Chromatin is made up of proteins and DNA. The DNA wraps around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which further coil and condense to create chromatin structure. Fats are not a major component of chromatin.


What cell is Chromatin found in?

Chromatin is found in eukaryotic cells, which includes plant and animal cells. It is a complex of DNA and proteins that make up the genetic material of the cell, organized into chromosomes. Chromatin plays a crucial role in gene regulation and cell division.


What is DNA called when it shortens and thickens?

When DNA shortens and thickens, it is called chromatin. Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division.


DNA that is spread out in a non dividing cell is called?

Chromatin. It consists of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones and is found in the nuclei of eukaryotic cells.


Within a cell DNA is compacted along with proteins into structures called?

Chromatin


When a eukaryotic cell is not undergoing mitosis the DNA and its associated proteins appear as a visible thread like mass called the?

chromatin


When the DNA in a cell is uncoiled and spread throughout the nucleus it is called?

When the DNA in a cell is uncoiled and spread throughout the nucleus, it is called chromatin. Chromatin consists of DNA and associated proteins that help organize and regulate gene expression within the cell.


What are long fibers of DNA and protein called?

Long fibers of DNA and protein are called chromatin. Chromatin is the material that makes up chromosomes in eukaryotic cells and is composed of DNA wrapped around histone proteins.


Does the nucleus of a Plant Cell contain chromatin?

Yes, all cell Nuclei have chromatin.Chromatin is basically a long strand of DNA coiled around proteins called histones. Although not part of the nucleus, chromatin is contained within the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell.


What kind of information is carried by the chromatin in a cell's nucleus?

Chromatin consists of DNA associated with proteins which forms long strands called chromosomes.
