Write a paragraph that describes where DNA is found inside cells and how it is packaged. If desired, add a drawing to support your paragraph. Underline each of the following terms at least once as you use it: Eukaryotic Cells, Prokaryotic Cells, Organelles, Nucleus, Nucleotides, DNA, Histones, Chromosomes and he said use all of terms for the paragraph and this is for biomedical science pltw

Explanation:

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) is the repository of genetic information in living things. It is biological macromolecule made up of several units called nucleotides. In Eukaryotic cells (organisms with membrane-bound nucleus), the DNA is found in the nucleus. This is however different in prokaryotic cells, as the DNA is found in a nucleus-like body in the cytosol called the nucleoid. In Eukaryotes DNA is ordered and packed by structural proteins called histones. A histone is a protein that provides structural support to a chromosome. In order for very long DNA molecules to fit into the cell nucleus, they wrap around complexes of histone proteins, giving the chromosome a more compact shape.

DNA is tightly packed up to fit in the nucleus of every cell. As shown in the animation, a DNA molecule wraps around histone proteins to form tight loops called nucleosomes. These nucleosomes coil and stack together to form fibers called chromatin. Chromatin, in turn, loops and folds with the help of additional proteins to form chromosomes. Condensing DNA into chromosomes prevents DNA tangling and damage during cell division.
