Question

Is the same DNA present in each chromosome?

Answer 1

Chromosome:

1. In the nucleus, each cell has a DNA molecule packed in a thread-like structure known as a chromosome.
2. DNA has tightly coiled around a structure a protein known as histones.
3. The chromosome has a center constriction known as the centromere.
4. Each chromosome has different genes and a specific part genome.
5. Each chromosome is a single molecule of DNA.
6. For example, the genome for alpha globin, a part of hemoglobin, is found on chromosome 16 whereas the beta-globin is found on chromosome 11.
