where are chromosomes found in a cell?
Ans-In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.
state their function
- The main function of chromosomes is to carry the genetic material from one generation to another.
- Chromosomes play an important role and act as a guiding force in the growth, reproduction, repair and regeneration process, which is important for survival.
- Chromosomes protect the DNA from getting tangled and damaged.
- Histone and non-histone proteins help in the regulation of gene expression.
- Spindle fibres attached to the centromere help in the movement of the chromosome during cell division.
