DNA

Question 1

How is DNA stored in Eukaryotic cells?

Answer 1

Linear DNA molecules exist as chromosomes found in the nucleus

Question 2

What is the DNA molecule like in Eukaryotic cells?

Answer 2

Very long so wound around proteins called histones so it can’t fit into the nucleus

Question 3

What do histone proteins do?

Answer 3

Help support the DNA

Question 4

What is the DNA like in prokaryotic cells?

Answer 4

Condensed to fit into cell by supercoiling

Question 5

How is DNA stored in prokaryotic cells?

Answer 5

Carried as chromosomes

DNA molecules are shorter and circular than in eukaryotic cells
