Do chromosomes include DNA molecules histones and nuclosomes?

Yes, chromosomes are composed of DNA molecules wrapped around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes. Nucleosomes, the basic structural units of chromatin, help in compacting and organizing the DNA within the chromosome.


What can regulate the functioning of a gene?

The answer to this question is Nucleosomes.


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


The proteins in the chromosomes provide spool-like support on which DNA is wound These structures are called?

nucleosomes


What happens to the nucleosomes during mitosis?

During mitosis, the fibers of each individual chromosome are drawn together forming the tightly packed nucleosomes. The tight packing of nucleosomes may help separate chromosomes during mitosis.


What is the difference between autosome and chromosomes?

Autosomes are any chromosomes that are not sex chromosomes, while chromosomes are the structures in a cell that contain genetic material. Sex chromosomes determine an individual's sex, while autosomes contain genes that determine other traits.


What basic protein forms the unit around which DNA is coiled in the nucleosomes of eukaryotic chromosomes?

Histones are the basic proteins that form the unit around which DNA is coiled in the nucleosomes of eukaryotic chromosomes. These proteins help to package and condense the DNA within the cell nucleus.


One difference between the chromosomes of prokaryotes and those of eukaryotes is that?

prokaryotes have circular chromosomes while eukaryotes have linear chromosomes.


Why do you think chromatin loops and nucleosomes are useful structures within a chromosome?

Chromatin loops and nucleosomes are useful structures within a chromosome as they help to store genetic information. This allows for complex codes to be contained within chromosomes.


How are they grouped in the nucleus?

DNA molecules are tightly packed within the nucleus of a cell by wrapping around histone proteins to form structures called nucleosomes. Nucleosomes further coil and condense to form chromatin fibers, which are organized into discrete structures called chromosomes. These chromosomes contain the genetic material of the cell.


Relationship between chromatin and DNA?

DNA is the genetic information in an individual it is coiled into small ball like structures called histones histones are coiled into small structures called nucleosomes the nucleosomes are then coiled into chromatin, which is our chromosomes


How are DNA molecules joined together and coiled?

DNA molecules are joined together through hydrogen bonding between complementary nucleotide bases (A-T and G-C). This forms the double helix structure. The DNA molecule is then coiled around histone proteins to form structures known as nucleosomes, which further coil and condense to form chromosomes.
