New cards
Where is DNA found in human cells
Primarily in nucleus
Also some in mitochondria
2
New cards
What is the chromatin complex
DNA bound to histone proteins
3
New cards
How and where is DNA present in prokaryotes
Not in a membrane bound nucleus instead their DNA is arranged in a single, circular chromosome
4
New cards
How is DNA packaged in prokaryotes
Strand is twisted to form double helix
Helix has major and minor groups separated by phosphates in backbone
Then further packaging occurring in prokaryotes: supercoiling
5
New cards
How is DNA packaged in humans
Packaged into helix
Further packaged by wrapping it around nucleosomes
Further coiled into solenoid
6
New cards
What are nucleosomes
Tiny spools each made up of 8 histone proteins
