DNA organized in eukaryotes

  1. In eukaryotes, DNA is stored in the nucleus, where it is organized into linear chromosomes.
  2. A nuclear envelope covers the genetic material to create a nucleus and separates the DNA from the rest of the cellular substance in eukaryotic cells.
  3. Eukaryotic cells also have DNA in chromatid form, which is firmly bonded with histones.
  4. A chromosome is a DNA molecule tightly coiled around proteins called histones at its most basic level.
  5. Multiple linear chromosomes are seen in eukaryotic cells.
