Revision notes on Chromosome Structure for the Cambridge (CIE) AS Biology syllabus, written by the Biology experts at Save My Exams.
In the nucleus of each cell, DNA is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins called histones that support its structure. Chromosomes play a vital role in heredity, mutation, variation, and evolutionary development of species.
This picture shows the organization of chromatin including DNA's double helix structure and how DNA winds around core particles to form nucleosomes. From there, the DNA continues to wind upon its self until a chromosome is created. The function of genes in DNA is to code for the creation of proteins to be used in the body. A genome is all the genes one person has. For example, the human genome is approx. 30-35,000 genes. (Picture obtained from McGraw-Hill Connect).
The position on a CHROMOSOME where it separates during cell division; a structure of noncoding DNA (DNA that does not convey genetic information)When the cell divides the strands of the chromatids migrate in opposite directions (pull apart) at the centromere. In a photomicrograph, the centromere appears as an indented, waistlike area on the chromosome. Geneticists use the centromere’s position, along with other chtrstcs of the chromosome, to match them into their pairs when creating…

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is a set of instructions for creating the proteins that make your body work. Two strands of DNA together form into a double helix.
This simple worksheet shows a diagram of a chromosome and where it is located in the nucleus of the cell. Students label the chromatid, centromere, chromosomes, cell membrane, DNA, and nucleus.
