DNA, which is a sequence of nucleotides, make up genes. Genes are DNA sequences that code of a functional protein and are controlled by a promoter region on the DNA. DNA, including genes within it, are supercoiled into chromosomes so they are able to fit in the cell. Otherwise, uncoiled DNA in a cell is much longer than the cell itself.
I think its because so the plants can absorb more nutrients from the soil while being sturdy and wide so when the plant gets snowed on it doesn't break<span />
