#DNA

#DNA Packaging⁠⁠Animation showing the #packaging of #deoxyribonucleic #acid (DNA) around proteins called histones (grey). ⁠⁠The #DNA winds tightly into coils that wrap around the histones to form units called nucleosomes. $Linker DNA joins the nucleosomes. Further coiling forms strands of chromatin, which condenses during cell division to form structures called chromosomes. DNA forms the genetic basis of nearly all living organisms. The DNA in a cell nucleus (less than 0.1 millimeters across) is over 2 meters in length when unravelled. ⁠⁠Amazing video by @sciencesourcestock© Rhys Lewis, AHS, DECD, UNISA / Equinox Graphics / Science Source⁠ScienceSource.com image ID: SS268249⁠⁠#dna #dnapacking #dnapackaging #genetics #genetic #histone #histones #nucleosomes #nucleosome #chromatin #chromosome #chromosomes ⁠#digitalart #3d #illustration #science #motionart #digitalartist⁠#video #sciencevideo #scienceteacher #scienceclass #biology 3biologyteacher #biologyclass #medicine #research #bioengineering #engineering #biomedical #biomedicalengineering
