kromosomipaketin
Kromosomipaketin, a term derived from Swedish, refers to the condensed structure of chromosomes within the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell. During most of the cell cycle, DNA is in a relatively decondensed state, known as chromatin. However, in preparation for cell division (mitosis and meiosis), the chromatin undergoes extensive coiling and folding, becoming highly organized and compact. This process is crucial for efficiently segregating the genetic material into daughter cells without tangling or damage.
The packaging of DNA into chromosomes involves a series of hierarchical structural levels. DNA is first wrapped
The term "kromosomipaketin" emphasizes the packed or bundled nature of chromosomes, particularly when they are condensed
