Question

This is the structure in the cell nucleus that houses a cell's genetic information. Example: Humans have 46 of these.

Answer 1

Answer: DNA molecules is packaged into chromosomes which are found in the cell nucleus.

Explanation: Chromosomes are made up of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) coiled around proteins called histones that support its structure. In humans cells there are 23 pairs of chromosomes, that makes a total of 46. Twenty-two of those pairs are autosomes while the 23rd pair is called sex chromosomes.

The genetic information is stored in the structure of the DNA, so this molecule is the hereditary material in almost all living organisms. That is why it contains the instructions to construct components of the cell.

Answer 2

The structure that is in the cell's nucleus that contains the genetic information if it is condensed and becomes wrapped and folded with many histone and other proteins, it is called chromosomes.

Humans do have 46 chromosomes, 44 autosomal ones and 2 sex chromosomes.
