Chromosomes DNA isn’t always rolled out, when it needs to be moved it becomes “Packaged”. A DNA wraps itself around proteins forming a neat, easy to move, package. These packages are known as chromosomes. Each species has a specific number of chromosomes (packages/volumes). Ex: Cat 38...
The very long strand of DNA which further contains many genes (hundreds to thousands) makes up a chromosome. The genes are arranged in a particular sequence and have a particular location on the chromosome (called its locus). In addition to DNA, chromosomes also contain many...
Cell - DNA, Genes, Chromosomes: During the early 19th century, it became widely accepted that all living organisms are composed of cells arising only from the growth and division of other cells. The improvement of the microscope then led to an era during
The study of genomics consists of two parts: i) Structural genomics involves genes sequencing; gene annotation; and functional gene mining. Given that the genomics of algae is not well-studied, it is relatively difficult to determine the full set of proteins encoded by algae genes and ii) ...
What do genes and chromosomes have to do with each other? In chromosomes, stretches of DNA units called genes are arranged in a predictable order along each DNA strand. These genes contain most of the instructions found in the DNA. Where in the Cell Are Chromosomes Located? Where in a huma...

What is the relationship between genes and chromosomes? A. Chromosomes are proteins that carry genes. B. Genes are the proteins encoded by chromosomes. C. Genes produce the bases of chromosome nucleotides. D. A chromosome contains many genes. DNA which is loosely wrapped around protein is referr...
as the unique nature of sex chromosomes means that it contains a disproportionate number of disease-causing genes. With both the X and Y chromosomes sequenced, their evolution from a pair of ‘normal’ chromosomes can be studied in detail. The cover, by Alfred Pasieka (Science Photo Library),...
Epigenetics is emerging as an attractive mechanism to explain the persistent genomic embedding of early-life experiences. Tightly linked to chromatin, which packages DNA into chromosomes, epigenetic marks primarily serve to regulate the activity of genes. DNA methylation is the most accessible and charac...
