What else can I help you with?
The single strands of DNA are wound together to form a?
centrometer
What is the main ingredient of a chromosome?
The main ingredient of a chromosome is DNA. DNA contains the genetic information that codes for all the traits and characteristics of an organism. Chromosomes are made up of tightly wound strands of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones.
Number of strands on the DNA molecule?
each strand in the DNA molecule has a gap of 3.4 angstrom(Ao) between them. the total length of one series of strand or 1 DNA molecule is 34 Ao. therefore 34/3.4=10. there are 10 strands or N2 base pairs in a DNA molecule.
What is it called when long strands of DNA are wrapped around themselves?
It is called DNA supercoiling. This coiling helps to compact the long strands of DNA into the small space inside a cell.
The site where the old DNA strands separate and new DNA strands will be synthesized is called the?
The site where the old DNA strands separate and new DNA strands are synthesized is called the replication fork. This is where the enzyme DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand.
What is the name for strands of DNA wound around proteins?
The name for strands of DNA wound around proteins is chromatin. Chromatin is made up of DNA and proteins called histones, which help organize and condense the genetic material within the cell nucleus.
The single strands of DNA are wound together to form a?
centrometer
What term in used for the Watson and Crick model of DNA in which two strands are wound around each other?
double helix
Is DNA made if chromosomes?
No. DNA is what chromosomes are made of. DNA is wound around proteins like thread on a spool, but since DNA is one long"string", the DNA is wound around many protein "spools", all of which are connected by DNA. This string of DNA/protein "thread on spools" is wound around itself, and wound around itself, and wound around itself a lot more, then (after a pretty intricate process) Wala! You have a chromosome.

In living organisms DNA consists of two complementary strands wound together in a specific structure called a .?

How many DNA strands do goldfish have?
10000 DNA strands.

How many strands are there in DNA?
DNA is made up of two strands.
Is chromatin made up of proteins and DNA or fats and proteins?
Chromatin is made up of proteins and DNA. The DNA wraps around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which further coil and condense to create chromatin structure. Fats are not a major component of chromatin.
