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.


What is it called when the nucleus of the cell are made of tightly wound stance of DNA?

When DNA is packed up tightly in dividing cells, it is referred to as a chromosome. The packing process is called DNA condensation.


Chromosomes are made up of structures called?

Chromosomes are made up of structures called DNA, which is tightly coiled around proteins called histones. DNA contains the genetic information that is passed onto offspring and is organized into genes that encode for specific traits or functions.


What are choromosome made from?

Chromosomes are made up of DNA molecules that are tightly wound around proteins called histones. The DNA contains all the genetic information that an organism needs to develop, grow, and function. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of a cell.


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.


A portion of a DNA molecule wound around a spool of histone protein is called a?

Such a structure is called a Nucleosome


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.


What is DNA wound around a protein core made up of histone molecules?

This is called a Chromatid. For example a Human Chromosome that is expanded at 32,000 micrometers long will loop {supercoil} around Histones and end up being just 6 micrometers long!


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.


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

nucleosomes


A portion of a DNA molecules wound around a spool of histone proyein is called?

cell cycle


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.
