Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that DNA is a long molecule that needs to be efficiently packaged within the cell nucleus.
Learn that before replication, DNA undergoes a process of condensation to become more compact.
Recognize that this condensation process involves the DNA wrapping around proteins called histones, forming a structure known as chromatin.
Know that chromatin further condenses into visible structures called chromosomes during cell division.
Remember that chromosomes are the form in which DNA is organized and visible during replication and cell division.
