match the following terms to their definitions (.25 pts each)
relaxed form of dna
dna coiled around proteins (histones)
condensed form of dna visible during mitosis
cycle of growing and dividing in a cell
cell cycle
chromosomes
chromatin
nucleosomes

Explanation:

1. The relaxed form of DNA is chromatin. Chromatin is the DNA - protein complex in its less - condensed state.
2. DNA coiled around histones forms nucleosomes. Nucleosomes are the basic structural units of chromatin.
3. The condensed form of DNA visible during mitosis is chromosomes. Chromosomes are highly condensed chromatin for cell division.
4. The cycle of growing and dividing in a cell is the cell cycle. It includes interphase and mitotic phase.

Answer:

relaxed form of DNA - chromatin
DNA coiled around proteins (histones) - nucleosomes
condensed form of DNA visible during mitosis - chromosomes
cycle of growing and dividing in a cell - cell cycle
