Multiple Select Question Select all that apply Select all of the following reasons why DNA needs to be packaged within chromosomes. DNA is packaged to keep it organized. DNA is packaged to allow great amounts to fit within a tiny space in the cell. DNA is packaged to allow it to take up the maximum space available in the cell. DNA is packaged to allow for the immediate access of enzymes necessary for protein synthesis.

Why does DNA need to be coiled? Choose ALL that apply DNA coiling allows DNA to be wrapped tight enough during certain times of the cell cycle in order to enable to movement of the chromosomes to a new cell Coiling allows DNA to be organized in a way that allows for efficient access to genes (for gene expression) DNA supercoils to allow for paracrine signaling between cells DNA coiling allows for the smooth ER to more efficiently make proteins DNA coiling allows the DNA to fit into the cell (and the nucleus)

A cell's DNA must be packaged in a way that allows it to be easily stored within a nucleus, but also easily accessed for transcription. Specific structural features allow for certain genes to be stored and others to be transcribed, or expressed, simultaneously. Match each name and description to the structures in the diagram.
