DNA occurs in the nucleoid of bacteria, loose in the cytoplasm. Or, in eukaryotic organisms, DNA exists in the nucleus as chromatin which condenses into chromosomes prior to mitosis or meiosis. DNA is associated in nuclei with proteins called histones. DNA wraps around histones and forms solenoid coils and bends itself into two-dimensional rosette or flower shaped outlines and this, tightly packed. perpetuates itself all the way up the length of each chromosome, the very fabric of the chromosomes themselves. DNA is also found in plasmids in bacteria or in chloroplasts and mitochondria in eukaryotes.
What else can I help you with?
What are DNA strands packed into?
DNA strands are packed into structures called chromosomes. Chromosomes are made up of long strands of DNA that are tightly coiled and condensed to fit inside the nucleus of a cell.
In a eukaryotic cell what are the protein and DNA packed into the form of?
study island question? haha this site is my savior the answer is chromosomes
What eukaryotic chromosomes contain both DNA and protein tightly packed together to for a substance?
Eukaryotic chromosomes contain both DNA and protein tightly packed together to form Chromatin. Chromatin consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones. DNA and histone molecules form nucleosomes. These are all part of the structure of chromosomes.
What is it called when the nucleus of the cell are made of tightly wound stance of DNA?
When DNA is packed up tightly in dividing cells, it is referred to as a chromosome. The packing process is called DNA condensation.
How are the long DNA molecules found you eukaryotes packed into short chromosomes?
The DNA strand wraps itself around histones, creating a nucleosome, then coils together and supercoils after to fit into the chromosones. I was trying to figure this question out in my Biology Book. It was a lot easier to find than I thought. =p
Where is DNA packed?
The nucleus.
Are chromosomes tightly packed DNA or loosely packed DNA?
Chromosomes are tightly packed DNA, consisting of long strands of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones. This compact structure helps to ensure that the DNA is able to fit inside the nucleus of a cell and is organized in a way that allows for efficient regulation and replication.
What are tightly packed units of DNA?
Chromosomes
Prokaryotic cells I do not have a nuclear us so I am the result of loosely packed DNA who am I?
Loosely packed DNA can result in genes not being expressed properly.
What are DNA strands packed into?
DNA strands are packed into structures called chromosomes. Chromosomes are made up of long strands of DNA that are tightly coiled and condensed to fit inside the nucleus of a cell.
What genetic information is packed into a chromosome?
Genetic information in the form of DNA is tightly packed into a chromosome. This DNA contains instructions for making proteins and determining an organism's traits.
What are the things that are packed into the nucleus and look like thin stands of spaghetti all packed together?
DNA
What is chromosome and what does it do?
A chromosome is a mix of tightly packed DNA and proteins.
What is DNA packed into when a cell is ready to reproduce?
DNA is packed into structures called chromosomes when a cell is ready to reproduce. This packaging helps ensure that the DNA is organized and can be easily copied and divided into new cells during the process of cell division.
How is it possible for human DNA of about 3 meter long to be packed inside a nucleus which is 10 microns in diameter?
The DNA is coiled round and packed very tight so it can fit inside something as small as a nucleus.
In a eukaryotic cell what are the protein and DNA packed into the form of?
study island question? haha this site is my savior the answer is chromosomes
Why is DNA coiled up and packed into chromosomes?
DNA is coiled up and packed into chromosomes to ensure that it can be efficiently stored and organized within the cell. This compact packaging helps protect the DNA from damage and allows for the precise distribution of genetic information during cell division.
