chromatin definitions
# Definition Sets
1the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus consisting of dna and rna and various proteins94 sets
2granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of dna tightly coiled around proteins79 sets
3long strands of dna found in the eukaryotic cell nucleus; condense to form chromosomes27 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.24 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
6the less tightly coiled dna-protein complex16 sets
7combination of dna and protein molecules, in the form of long, thin fibers, making up the genetic material in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell14 sets
8the loose and uncoiled form of dna seen during interphase11 sets
9dna that is coiled around proteins10 sets
10material in cells that contains dna and carries genetic information10 sets
11the complex of dna and proteins that makes up a eukaryotic chromosome.9 sets
12granular material visible within the nucleus; consists of dna tightly coiled around proteins.9 sets
13dna found in nucleus that turns into chromosomes during mitosis8 sets
14granular material you can see in the nucleus8 sets
15the substance that composes eukaryotic chromosomes; it consists of specific proteins, dna, and small amounts of rna8 sets
16dna bound to protein8 sets
17clusters of dna, rna and proteins in the nucleus of a cell7 sets
18clusters of dna, rna, and proteins in the nucleus of a cell7 sets
19relaxed form of dna in the nucleus of a cell6 sets
20consists of dna bound to protein6 sets
21the readily stainable substance of a cell nucleus, consisting of dna, rna, and various proteins, that forms chromosomes during cell division.6 sets
22consists of dna tightly coiled around proteins6 sets
23combination of dna and protein molecules6 sets
24less tightly coiled dna-protein complex6 sets
25dna tightly coiled with proteins6 sets
26complex of dna and proteins that makes up a eukaryotic chromosome6 sets
27granular material visible within the nucleus6 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
29long strands of dna wrapped around proteins called histones5 sets
30a combination of dna and protein that appears as a mass of long thin fibers in a non-dividing cell5 sets
31long strands of dna wrapped around proteins5 sets
32the granular material you can see in the nucleus5 sets
33the 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
34the materian that makes up both mitotic and interphase chromosomes5 sets
35complex of proteins and dna5 sets
36granular material you see on nucleus5 sets
37dna and protein(histones) tightly packed together4 sets
38genetic material in the nucleus4 sets
39dna+ protein4 sets
40threadlike coils of chromosomes4 sets
