The first step is wrapping the DNA double helix sections around histone proteins to form structures called nucleosomes. Nucleosomes are linked into structures called "beads on a string" form of chromatin. "beads on a string" chunks are packaged into supercoiled structures call chromosome fibre. ...

Chromatids are produced fromchromatinfibers during both meiosis and mitosis. Chromatin is composed ofDNAand skeletalproteinsand is called a nucleosome when wrapped around these proteins in sequence. Even more tightly wound nucleosomes are called chromatin fibers. Chromatin condenses DNA enough to fit w...
What is chromatin? What are bacterial artificial chromosomes? What are the two cellular organelles that house DNA? What does primase do in DNA replication? Which nucleic acid moves the code for protein synthesis from the nucleus to the ribosomes?
What is the difference between chromatin and a chromosome? Mitosis and meiosis are important processes. \\ a) What does each accomplish; \\ b) where in the human body can each occur and \\ c) how do the cells produced compare in chromosome number to the parent cells?

Terminal knobs are visible in this electron micrograph of chromatin spreads from yeast (© 2002 Nature Publishing Group). The importance of organic networks such as genetic mapping is that they can suggest “a sense of language different to that of mammalian agency, one aware of the deposits ...
In other words, the effect of the mutation is dependent on the genetic background in which it appears. Epigenetics In biology, epigenetics is the study of heritable phenotype changes that do not involve alterations in the DNA sequence. The Greek prefix epi- (ἐπι- "over, outside of, ...
