What are the links between DNA genes chromosomes and proteins?
Chromosomes are long strands of DNA which are held together by proteins.
What condenses into an X shape before mitosis?
Chromatids condense into an X shape before mitosis. Chromatids are identical strands of chromosomes. After duplication there are 12 chromatids that are in 3 pair of homologous chromosomes.
Chromosomes are strands of DNA wrapped around?
Chromosomes are not long strands of DNA. Genes are one form of long strands of DNA, specfied by meny amino acids, which are in turn specified by a codon, or three nucleotide bases. DNA actually coils or wraps around the chromosomes during certain stages of development.
What kind of information is carried by the chromatin in a cell's nucleus?
Chromatin consists of DNA associated with proteins which forms long strands called chromosomes.
What are the long strands in the nucleus called?
In a cell, the tangles of long strands of DNA form the
What are the links between DNA genes chromosomes and proteins?
Chromosomes are long strands of DNA which are held together by proteins.
What is the name for strands of DNA wound around proteins?
chromosomes. The DNA is genes that are tightly wrapped around proteins. The proteins are histones.
What condenses into an X shape before mitosis?
Chromatids condense into an X shape before mitosis. Chromatids are identical strands of chromosomes. After duplication there are 12 chromatids that are in 3 pair of homologous chromosomes.
Is chromatin made up of proteins and DNA or fats and proteins?
Chromatin is made up of DNA spirals. Chromatin makes up chromosomes.
What are thin long strands of DNA that are coiled folded and twisted into short condensed strands?
Both vary considerably among organisms and types. The DNA in humans, uncoiled from chromosomes, differs from that of a different organism. Proteins can range from dipeptides (two amino acids) to thousands of amino acids long.

What do a cells chromosomes contain?
If we use the word "chromatid", there are always two. (As with twins!)In a eukaryotic cell immediately after cell division (mitosis or meiosis), each chromosome contains only one DNA molecule.If the cell is preparing for a subsequent division, then midway through interphase the DNA replicates. Now there are two molecules of DNA in each chromosome.At the start of the following division, in prophase, the chromosomes condense, and the two DNA molecules, with their many associated proteins, become visible under a light microscope as sister-chromatids.
Genetic material found in the nucleus during interphase?
chromatin
Genes are located on structures called what?
The structures are called chromosomes.
What does the chromatain do?
A chromatin is the material that makes up both mitotic and inter phase chromosomes; a complex of proteins and DNA strands that are loosely coiled such that translation and transcription can occur.
