What else can I help you with?
What is DNA in a non-dividing cell called?
It's called euchromatin, and is attached to histones.
What do you call the section of dna that is transcribed?
The section of DNA that is transcribed is called a gene. Genes contain the instructions for making specific proteins or functional RNA molecules. During transcription, an RNA molecule is synthesized from the gene for further processing and translation.
What is rRNA transcribed from?
rRNA is transcribed from genes located in the nucleolus of the cell. It is transcribed by RNA polymerase I.
What is loosely packed chromatin called?
Loosely packed chromatin is called euchromatin. It is less condensed than heterochromatin and is typically associated with active transcription of genes, allowing for easier access by transcription machinery. Euchromatin appears lighter under a microscope and is primarily found in regions of the genome that are actively expressed.
Why does DNA get transcribed?
Inside the nucleus of a cell
What are the key differences between euchromatin and heterochromatin in terms of their structure and function?
Euchromatin is less condensed and actively transcribed, while heterochromatin is highly condensed and transcriptionally inactive. Euchromatin is involved in gene expression, while heterochromatin plays a role in gene silencing and maintaining chromosome structure.
What is DNA in a non-dividing cell called?
It's called euchromatin, and is attached to histones.
What is the the relationship of chrosomes to chromatin?
Chromatin is the stuff they´re made out of. Densely condensed chromatin is known as heterochromatin and not fit to transcribe, loosely packed euchromatin can be transcribed easily.
What do you call the section of dna that is transcribed?
The section of DNA that is transcribed is called a gene. Genes contain the instructions for making specific proteins or functional RNA molecules. During transcription, an RNA molecule is synthesized from the gene for further processing and translation.
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.
What are loosely coiled fibers containing protein and DNA within nucleus?
Chromatin is the generic term for DNA (not "fiber") wound around proteins called histones. From the description you've given, it sounds like you're talking about euchromatin.There are generally two types of chromatin: euchromatinand heterochromatin. Under the microscope, heterochromatin tends to stay at the periphery of the nucleus, while euchromatin tends to stay central in the nucleus. Also microscopically, euchromatin is a bit lighter (ie, it doesn't stain as heavily) than heterochromatin, reflecting the fact that euchromatin is less dense than heterochromatin. The decreased density has to do with euchromatin being loosely wound around histones, whereas heterochromatin is wound rather tightly. Heterochromatin also has a number of other chromatin-modifying proteins around that prevent it from coming undone easily.The functional difference between the two types of chromatin has to do with how effectively DNA transcription (the process by which DNA is transcribed to RNA) can occur. The dense heterochromatin is so tightly wound and so tightly packed with associated proteins that the DNA transcription machinery can't get access to the DNA contained within the heterochromatin. Only the loosely wound euchromatin will permit the machinery to gain access to its DNA. Therefore, generally euchromatin contains DNA that is being actively transcribed, while heterochromatin is transcriptionally silent.THE ANSWER IS CHROMATIN!!
How are euchromatin and heterochromatin stained?
Euchromatin is loosely coiled DNA that is transcriptionally active. An increased amount of euchromatin indicates an active cell. Heterochromatin is tightly packed DNA that is transcriptionally innactive.
Active DNA transcription in eukaryotes occurs?
Transcription takes place in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
What is rRNA transcribed from?
rRNA is transcribed from genes located in the nucleolus of the cell. It is transcribed by RNA polymerase I.
How you do transcribed in a sentence?
Leonardo de Vinci transcribed his thoughts into notebooks.
In what direction is RNA transcribed?
RNA is transcribed in the 5' to 3' direction.
In which direction is mRNA transcribed?
mRNA is transcribed in the 5' to 3' direction.
