When DNA is coiled and folded and twisted into short condensed strands?

This is called chromatin. Chromatin is the complex of DNA and proteins that forms chromosomes. The coiling and folding of DNA into chromatin helps condense the genetic material to fit within the nucleus of a cell.


What are coiled protein strands that have barbs tipped with poison?

A nematocyst is a coiled protein strands that have barbs tipped with poison. It is a capsule within a specialized cells.


What are thin long strands of DNA that are coiled folded and twisted into short condensed strands?

Thin long strands of DNA that are coiled, folded, and twisted into condensed structures are called chromosomes. Chromosomes contain genes that carry the instructions for inherited traits and are organized within the nucleus of a cell. During cell division, chromosomes are visible as distinct entities under a microscope.


Sperm cells are produced within tightly coiled tubes in the testicle called?

Sperm cells are produced within tightly coiled tubes in the testicle called seminiferous tubules.


What is the length of DNA in each chromosome is longer than the diameter of the animal cell?

The DNA in each chromosome is longer than the diameter of an animal cell. Chromosomes are necessary to package and organize the long strands of DNA within the cell's nucleus. The DNA in a typical animal cell is tightly coiled and packaged to fit within the nucleus, which is much smaller than the length of the DNA in its extended form.


When the DNA in a cell is uncoiled and spread throughout the nucleus it is called?

When the DNA in a cell is uncoiled and spread throughout the nucleus, it is called chromatin. Chromatin consists of DNA and associated proteins that help organize and regulate gene expression within the cell.


What are strands of hair grow within the dermis in structures called?

Are chromosome a form of blood cells?

no its form from chromatin consists of long strands of material located within the nuclear membrane. when a cell is going to divide the chromatin rearranges and condenses into orderly strands called chromosomes ^_^ and there is 23 pairs of chromosomes in human cells cool huh:) I hope this helps;) peace


What is DNA wrapped around proteins called?

Tangled strands of DNA are in Prokaryotic cells. This is because the DNA is free floating. The proteins are most likely tangled in the protein molecules.


What is a strand within the cell that carries information about the organisms?

You are talking about chromosomes, which are made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). However the chromosomes are only "strands" in eukaryotic cells, in prokaryotic cells the chromosome is a "ring" instead and there are typically several additional much smaller DNA "rings" called plasmids that contain genes that are not part of the chromosome.


A poison-filled stinging structure within a cnidocyte that contains a tightly coiled dart is called a?

sting


What is chromonematta in genetics?

The chromonemata is an individual coiled chromosome thread. The chromonemata is the coiled mass of threads visible within the nucleus at the beginning of cell division. During cell division, it remains relatively uncoiled during early prophase but assumes a more spiral shape during metaphase.
