chromatin definitions
# Definition Sets
1the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus consisting of dna and rna and various proteins118 sets
2granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of dna tightly coiled around proteins97 sets
3long strands of dna found in the eukaryotic cell nucleus; condense to form chromosomes40 sets
4the complex of dna and proteins that makes up a eukaryotic chromosome. when the cell is not dividing, chromatin exists as a mass of very long, thin fibers that are not visible with a light microscope.25 sets
5the material that makes up both mitotic and interphase chromosomes; a complex of proteins and dna strands that are loosely coiled such that translation and transcription can occur18 sets
6combination of dna and protein molecules, in the form of long, thin fibers, making up the genetic material in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell17 sets
7the less tightly coiled dna-protein complex16 sets
8dna that is coiled around proteins12 sets
9clusters of dna, rna, and proteins in the nucleus of a cell11 sets
10the loose and uncoiled form of dna seen during interphase11 sets
11material in cells that contains dna and carries genetic information10 sets
12granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of dna tightly coiled around proteins.10 sets
13the substance that composes eukaryotic chromosomes; it consists of specific proteins, dna, and small amounts of rna9 sets
14granular material you can see in the nucleus9 sets
15the complex of dna and proteins that makes up a eukaryotic chromosome.9 sets
16dna bound to protein8 sets
17dna found in nucleus that turns into chromosomes during mitosis8 sets
18combination of dna and protein molecules8 sets
19granular material visible within the nucleus8 sets
20less tightly coiled dna-protein complex8 sets
21the granular material you can see in the nucleus7 sets
22clusters of dna, rna and proteins in the nucleus of a cell7 sets
23long strands of dna wrapped around proteins7 sets
24long strands of dna wrapped around proteins called histones6 sets
25consists of dna bound to protein6 sets
26consists of dna tightly coiled around proteins6 sets
27complex of dna and proteins that makes up a eukaryotic chromosome6 sets
28the complex of dna and proteins that makes up a eukaryotic chromosome. when the cell is not dividing, chromatin exists as a mass of very long, thin fibers that are not visible with a light microscope6 sets
29dna6 sets
30relaxed form of dna in the nucleus of a cell6 sets
31the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus, consisting of dna, rna, and various proteins, that forms chromosomes during cell division.6 sets
32the complex of dna and proteins that makes up a eukaryotic chromosome. when the cell is not dividing, chromatin exists in its dispersed form, as a mass of very long, thin fibers that are not visible with a light microscope.5 sets
33granular material visible withing the nucleus; consists of dna tightly coiled around proteins5 sets
34a combination of dna and protein that appears as a mass of long thin fibers in a non-dividing cell5 sets
35dna tightly coiled with proteins5 sets
36strands of the genetic material, dna5 sets
37the materian that makes up both mitotic and interphase chromosomes5 sets
38granular material you see on nucleus5 sets
39strands of dna5 sets
40a combination of dna and protein molecules5 sets
