Question
when dna is in condensed chromosome form- can the information (code) in the genes be accessed?
yes
no
some of the time
Brief Explanations
When DNA is condensed into chromosome form (like during cell division), the tight packaging makes it difficult for the cellular machinery (such as RNA polymerase for transcription) to access the genes. Gene expression (accessing the code for making proteins etc.) typically occurs when DNA is in a more relaxed, chromatin state where the relevant regions can be unwound and accessed.
