Before DNA condenses, it is in a relaxed, uncoiled form known as chromatin. Chromatin is composed of DNA wrapped around histone proteins, allowing for the regulation of gene expression and accessibility during cell processes like replication and transcription. When the cell prepares to divide, chromatin condenses into tightly packed structures called chromosomes.
What else can I help you with?
What is DNA called when it shortens and thickens?
When DNA shortens and thickens, it is called chromatin. Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division.
When a cell divide DNA condenses into a rod-like what?
you never did
Inside the nuclear envelope the DNA in the form of fine strands is called?
Chromatin. Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division. It is found inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
What is the thread like form of DNA?
The thread-like form of DNA is called chromatin. Chromatin consists of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones, which help compact and organize the genetic material within the cell nucleus. During cell division, chromatin condenses further to form visible chromosomes.
What are chromosomes mostly made of?
Chromosomes are mostly made of DNA, which contains the genetic information of an organism. DNA is tightly coiled around proteins called histones to form chromatin, which then condenses into visible chromosomes during cell division.
What is DNA called when it shortens and thickens?
When DNA shortens and thickens, it is called chromatin. Chromatin is a complex of DNA and proteins that condenses to form chromosomes during cell division.
What condenses into a chromosomes?
DNA
What do you call DNA in the nucleus before it condenses to form chromosomes?
DNA forms nucleosomes (beads on the string) by combining histone proteins, nucleosomes condense into chromatins before it forms Chromosomes
DNA complexed with protein is called?
DNA complexed with proteins is chromatin. Chromatin condenses to form a chromosome. The definition of chromatin is "A complex of nucleic acids (e.g. DNA or RNA) and proteins (histones), which condenses to form a chromosome during cell division. In eukaryotic cells, it is found within the cell nucleus whereas in prokaryotic cells, it is found within the nucleoid. Its functions are to package DNA into a smaller volume to fit in the cell, strengthen the DNA to allow mitosis and meiosis, and to serve as a mechanism to control expression."
Which structure contains DNA within the cells nucleus?
Chromosomes contain DNA within the cell nucleus.
DNA condenses into chromosomes in what phase of mitosis?
Gap 2
When a cell divides its DNA condenses into rod-like what?
you never did
When a cell divide DNA condenses into a rod-like what?
you never did
How is DNA packaged into a chromosome?
DNA is packaged into a chromosome by wrapping around proteins called histones, forming a structure known as chromatin. This chromatin then coils and condenses to create the compact structure of a chromosome.
At what phase does DNA condense into chromosomes?
DNA condenses into chromosomes during the prophase stage of cell division.
What is the name for when chromosomes look like mixed up threads?
The word chromatin matches what you are looking for. The DNA looks like this before it condenses before the cell divides. It is open so that the genes can be active.
What is the job for chromatin in an animal cell?
condenses into chromosomes, which contain DNA and protein
