Question

Explain how DNA, which is six feet long, can be stored in the nucleus of a tiny human cell.

Answer 1

sample response- DNA is twisted in a double helix, then wrapped around proteins and condensed into chromosomes. This “packaging” is what allows a six-foot-long DNA molecule to fit into the nucleus of a tiny cell.

Explanation: i took the test thingie and hopefully i’ve helped you luv

Answer 2

Although DNA is exceptionally long and therefore may seem impossible to fit in nucleus, it is contained in very a condensed and folded form. This form is called the DNA complex, chromatin. When paired with other genetic material such as histone proteins, this leads to creation of chromosomes.
