Is the genetic information found in disorganized strands called chromosomes chromatin chromatids or spindle?

The genetic information found in disorganized strands is called chromatin. Chromosomes are tightly coiled and organized structures made up of chromatin. Chromatids are the duplicated strands of a chromosome, while the spindle is a structure involved in cell division.


What does the chromosomes of a cell do?

The chromosomes in a cell carry genetic information called DNA. DNA strands are coiled and then coiled again (supercoiled) to create chromosomes. Chromosomes are only visible in cells during Mitosis (division of the cell). Chromotids (Paired Chromosomes) split during Mitosis to give each daughter cell identical information. So in general chromosomes carry strands of DNA and DNA carries the genetic information for all organisms and DNA also replicates to form RNA which produces protein chains (chains of amino acids) for the organism and cells to use.


What are coiled protein strands that have barbs tipped with poison?

A nematocyst is a coiled protein strands that have barbs tipped with poison. It is a capsule within a specialized cells.


What is the shape of a DNA molecule formed when two twisted DNA strands are coiled into a springlike structure and held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases?

The shape of a DNA molecule formed by two twisted strands coiled into a springlike structure and held by hydrogen bonds is called a double helix. The two strands run in opposite directions and are connected by complementary base pairs (adenine-thymine, guanine-cytosine). This structure allows for the genetic information to be stored and replicated accurately.


Chromatids are made of a molecule called?

Chromatids are made of DNA molecules that are tightly coiled around proteins called histones. These DNA molecules contain the genetic information that is passed from one generation to the next.


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


What is the double coiled shape of DNA?

A molecule of DNA consists of two strands of various chemical compounds that other chemicals carrying genetic information join together, much like ladder rungs hold ladder rails apart. The two strands joined with thousands of rungs look like a long rope ladder that has been twisted into the shape of a spiral, called a double helix.


When DNA is coiled and folded and twisted into short condensed strands?

This is called chromatin. Chromatin is the complex of DNA and proteins that forms chromosomes. The coiling and folding of DNA into chromatin helps condense the genetic material to fit within the nucleus of a cell.
