DNA is able to fit into a cell because of its shape. DNA is a double helix that can bend and twist in all sorts of directions. An easier example to visualize is a spaghetti noodle in a bowl. Stretched out straight, it wouldn’t fit in the bowl, but once coiled or twisted up, it would conform to the shape of sand bowl. Well, DNA can coil up just like a noodle can, which gives it the ability to become compact enough to fit into the nucleus of a cell. The way DNA molecules can all fit into the cell is because they coil around histone proteins, which once in a tight enough coil, become nucleosomes which can stack to then become chromatin. That is how about 6 feet of DNA can be squeezed into a microscopic cell.

.....culturing viruses that requires a human host

Answer:

Diploid cell culture lines, developed from human embryos, are widely used for culturing viruses that require a human host

Explanation

Viruses can not thrive in a non-living host or artificial media.They  are intracelular parasites  which needed living host to replicate . Cultures lines from Human embryo  in are therefore used for culturing viruses of human host, so that its mode of replication and gene expression can be studied, and therefore its virulence can easily be studied.

This method have the advantage that;

1.there is no need to make use of the whole animal rather,on a tiny tissue needed can be isolated for culture.

2. the cells growth is continuous,and can be preserved in liquid Nitrogen and renew for future culture

3. cells can be grown in different containers,  with ability to decide the number of cells needed.

Temperature is kept at optimum for human in the culture at  37 degree centigrade, nutrients are provided, NaHC03 as buffers for C02, and  the medium is humidified.
