The DNA double helix wraps around a protein scaffold, which condenses, and joins with another condensed protein scaffold, which are more commonly known as the sister chromatids. These chromatids are also called a DNA chromosome. However, one strand of DNA has all the genes on it (AKA the nitrogenous bases A, T, C, and G; A matches with T, C matches with G - base pairing rules. These bases are kept together by weak hydrogen bonds.)

Which molecule is wound up to make a chromosome?

DNA molecule is wound up around proteins called histones to form a structure known as a chromosome. This coiling helps condense the DNA for efficient storage and organization within the cell.


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 chromosome a part of a DNA or is a DNA a part of a chromosome?

The second statement would be more correct.


What is a single molecule of DNA and associated proteins?

A single molecule of DNA consists of a double helix structure made up of nucleotides. Associated proteins, such as histones, help package and organize the DNA into chromatin. Together, the DNA and proteins form chromosomes within the nucleus of a cell.


How many DNA molecules are in a chromosomes?

There is one double helix DNA molecule per chromosome.


How many DNA molecule in a chromatid?

Each chromosome is originally made of one DNA molecule.

How does the behavior of a single molecule of DNA differ from that of a larger DNA structure?

The behavior of a single molecule of DNA is more focused on its specific function, such as carrying genetic information. In contrast, a larger DNA structure, like a chromosome, has a more complex role in organizing and regulating genetic material within a cell.


What is the most broadest category to most specific category in genetic material in DNA?

At the beginning of cell division DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called an?

At the beginning of cell division, DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called a chromosome. Chromosomes are visible under a microscope and contain the genetic material (DNA) of an organism.


What is the order of size between codon chromosome nucleotide DNA and nucleosome?

this is incorrect question, because the size of the DNA is not specified. Without the DNA, it is chromosome > nucleosome > nucleotide. The actual DNA cannot be longer than a chromosome and nucleotide is a monomer of polymeric DNA, so DNA should be somewhere between chromosome and nucleotide.


A rod-shaped structure that forms when a single DNA molecule and its associated proteins coil tightly before cell division is called?

Chromosome.
