Multiple Choice
In eukaryotic cells, DNA may coil and condense into visible structures called what?
A
Centrioles
B
Lysosomes
C
Chromosomes
D
Ribosomes
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that in eukaryotic cells, DNA is organized in a way that allows it to fit inside the nucleus while still being accessible for processes like replication and transcription.
Recognize that DNA coils around histone proteins to form nucleosomes, which further coil and fold to become more compact structures.
Know that when DNA is highly condensed and coiled during cell division, it forms visible structures under a microscope.
Identify these visible, condensed structures of DNA as chromosomes.
Recall that centrioles, lysosomes, and ribosomes are different cellular components with distinct functions, not related to DNA condensation.
