The difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule is that a chromosome is a single DNA molecule associated with proteins and a DNA molecule is a long thin molecule that stores genetic information.

What is the order of size between codon chromosome nucleotide DNA and nucleosome?

this is incorrect question, because the size of the DNA is not specified. Without the DNA, it is chromosome > nucleosome > nucleotide. The actual DNA cannot be longer than a chromosome and nucleotide is a monomer of polymeric DNA, so DNA should be somewhere between chromosome and nucleotide.

Which molecule is wound up to make a chromosome?

DNA molecule is wound up around proteins called histones to form a structure known as a chromosome. This coiling helps condense the DNA for efficient storage and organization within the cell.


Number of DNA molecules in a chromosomes?

Each chromosome contains a single DNA molecule that is highly compacted and coiled around proteins. This single DNA molecule contains all the genetic information for an organism.

How can you tell the difference between the original and replicated part of each chromosome?

In late anaphase and G1 of interphase, a chromosome is unreplicated and consists of a single DNA double helix. A replicated chromosome contains two identical DNA double helices.


Circular DNA molecule that is not part of the chromosome in bacterial cells?

The circular DNA molecule that is not part of the bacterial chromosome is called a plasmid. Plasmids are small, extrachromosomal pieces of DNA that can replicate independently of the bacterial chromosome. They often carry genes that provide bacteria with additional functions, such as antibiotic resistance.
