Cool Chromosomes
By: Vanessa Kamman
Purpose
- Chromosomes make organisms what they are, by carrying all of the information used to help a cell grow, thrive, and reproduce.
- 23 pairs, in sets of 2 making a total of 46 chromosomes in humans
Cells Need Me
- Chromosomes assist in the process of cell division by distributing DNA.
Relationship
- DNA is 6 feet long, therefore it is to long to fit inside a human, animal or plant cell. Chromosomes condense DNA, by tightly packing it, so it is able to fit.
