How many chromosomes are found in a normal human body cell?
DNADNA is a complex molecule (polymer) found in all living things. The primary function of DNA is to store and transmit genetic information that tells cells which proteins to make and when to make them.

In 1953, James Watson and Francis Crick proposed a model for the DNA molecule that consisted of two
nucleotide chains that wrap around each other to form a double spiral. This shape is called a double helix.

An idea about size: An average cell nucleus is about 6 micrometers in diameter.
The total length of the DNA in the human genome is 1.8 meters.
There must be several levels of coiling and supercoiling in DNA.

Chromosome:Chromosome: a coiled, double rod-shaped form of condensed
DNA that forms during cell division.

General Steps:
1 Collect cells from cheek using Gatorade
2 Separate parts of the cell using detergent.
3 Add alcohol to make the clumps of DNA
(chromosomes) float
