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.
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.
Why does a cell make a copy of its DNA defore it divides?
Because each cell needs its own set of DNA, there must be two sets of DNA present in a cell before it divides into two.
What structure carries the coded instructions for the cell's activities?
CHROMOSOMES! DNA consisting of nucleotides present in the chromosomes carries coded instructions for the cell's activities.
Where is DNA found in humans?
DNA is found in the nucleus of cells in humans. It is also present in small amounts in mitochondria, which are known as the powerhouse 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.
What forrm do you find DNA in when the cell is dividing?
It is condensed into chromosomes.
Where is plasmid DNA present in a cell?
it is present in the cytoplam
Where is DNA stored in a eukaryotic cells?
DNA of eukaryotic cell is present in nucleus.
Where can you find DNA in a non - dividing cell?

What is the physical structure of the DNA in a non-dividing cell?
Double helix
Are chromosomes presents when the cell is dividing?
yes chromosomes are present when cell divide
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?

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 of the process of a cell dividing into 4 cells with half the DNA?
Meiosis.
Why must cells be able to both transcribe and replicate their DNA?
