A compact and highly condensed form of chromatin. The ordered and organized complex of DNA and protein that forms the chromosome in the nucleus. A dispersed and relatively uncompacted form of chromatin. A structure composed of a very long molecule of DNA and associated proteins (e.g. histones) that carries hereditary information. A constituent part of an intracellular organelle, an organized structure of distinctive morphology and function, occurring within the cell. Includes constituent parts of the nucleus, mitochondria, plastids, vacuoles, vesicles, ribosomes and the cytoskeleton but excludes the plasma membrane. The ordered and organized complex of DNA and protein that forms regions of the chromosome that are not being actively transcribed. The ordered and organized complex of DNA and protein that forms regions of the chromosome that are being actively transcribed. The ordered and organized complex of DNA and protein that forms the chromosome in the cytoplasm. Any constituent part of a chromosome, a structure composed of a very long molecule of DNA and associated proteins (e.g. histones) that carries hereditary information. A complex comprised of DNA wound around a multisubunit core and associated proteins, which forms the primary packing unit of DNA into higher order structures. The ordered and organized complex of DNA and protein that forms the chromosome.
