Understanding Chromosome Structure and Cell Division

DNA is like skibidi vibes, all coiled up and chillin' around histones, creating that chromatin fiber essence. Think of nucleosomes as the ultimate goon squad, wrapping DNA around histone proteins like a dank spool. These nucleosomes chill together, forming chromatin fibers that can unwind when it is time to replicate or transcribe. When it is go time for mitosis, those sister chromatids, joined at the centromere, prepare for the epic split into two identical daughter cells. The whole cell cycle is a lowkey 24-hour saga of growth and division, where 46 chromosomes get their moment to shine. Edge of science, sigma vibes.
