Chromosomes are DNA, which is made of sequences of nucleotides. Also there are some supporting factors such as proteint which help with it's structure and functioning. Nucleotides are molecules with a carbon-skeleton structure, about 3 small rings in size each. They bind in strings to other nucleotides quite strongly. One string binds less strongly to another string, but only if the nucleotides match (largely). In DNA there are four nucleotides, Adenine and Thymine which match, and Guanine and Cytosine which match.
What else can I help you with?
What is the relationship between a chromosome and DNA?
Chromosomes are long strands of DNA that contain our genetic information. DNA is the molecule that makes up chromosomes, and it is organized into genes on the chromosomes. Each cell in our body contains a set of chromosomes that help determine our traits and characteristics.
Does DNA have chromosomes in it or is it the other way around?
Chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA wraps around proteins called histones to form structures called nucleosomes, which then coil and condense to create chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a single, long DNA molecule.
What is the difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule?
The difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule is that a chromosome is a single DNA molecule associated with proteins and a DNA molecule is a long thin molecule that stores genetic information.
Is the DNA made of chromosomes?
Yes, chromosomes contain tightly compacted DNA and proteins. Chromosomes are the form that DNA is found in when the cell is undergoing division, during other phases the DNA is less tightly coiled.
What is located in the nuclei on chromosomes?
it is made up of PROTEINS and DNA MOLECULE, it is located in the nucleus.
A molecule of DNA is packaged and carried by a larger molecule called?
Chromosomes
What are chromosoems made of?
Chromosomes are made of DNA, which is a long molecule containing genes that provide instructions for building and maintaining an organism. DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones, forming a complex structure known as chromatin that makes up chromosomes.

Are chromosomes a DNA molecule with many genes?
Yes, because chromosomes are full of genes and DNA
What is a DNA molecule segment called?
A gene
What molecules make up chromosomes?
The DNA molecule.
What molecule coils into chromosomes for cellular division?
DNA
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.
Does DNA have chromosomes in it or is it the other way around?
Chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA wraps around proteins called histones to form structures called nucleosomes, which then coil and condense to create chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a single, long DNA molecule.
What molecule are the chromosomes made of?
Chromosomes are made up of DNA molecules. These DNA molecules are long strands composed of nucleotides, which are the building blocks of genetic information. The DNA in chromosomes is tightly packed and organized with proteins, forming a structure that is essential for cell division and storage of genetic information.
