Chemical Composition of Chromatin

In this article we will discuss about the chemical composition of chromatin. Chromatin is composed of DNA (30-40%), RNA (1-10%) and proteins (50-60%). These constituents vary in different organisms and even in the different tissues of the same species (Table 8.2). Even in the same call, the proportions of DNA, RNA and proteins vary with the stage of cell cycle. [...]

Chromatin: Notes on Chromatin (879 Words) | Biology

Here are your notes on Chromatin! DNA is the main genetic constituent of cells, carrying information in a coded form from cell to cell and from organism to organism. Within cell nucleus, DNA is not free but is complexed with proteins in a structure called chromatin. Chromatin consists of double-stranded DNA (two hydrogen-bonded polynucleotide strands) to which large amounts of [...]
