The Spiral Structure of Chromosome
Introduction A Chromosome is an organized package of DNA, located inside the nucleus. The structure of a chromosome involves six essential parts, that include: Pellicle and matrix, chromonemata, chromomere, centromere, secondary constriction, and satellite body. So, chromonemata are the spiral structures that are embedded in the matrix of the chromosome and are the focus of […]
