MRNA tRNA and
,
ribosomes .




Entering examples
-


:
proteins ,
nucleotides, ATP and hormones .




·

Chromosomes and chromatin


Nucleus contains chromosomes . Chromosomes contain DNA
,
which is
organized into genes, which control


cell activities.


DNA
-




molecules are so that be folded up to
long they have to , prevent tangling ,
this is done
by combining with



proteins /histones) .




DNA
-



+ Protein =
Chromatin




Nucleolus
·




function is to make ribosomes


Contains DNA , which contains
genes that code for ribosomal RNA

for the manufacture of ribosomes then
