Chromosome of supercoiled DNA, concept C016 / 8433
Chromosome of supercoiled DNA, conceptual image. Computer artwork of a human chromosome, representing how DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is supercoiled (spirals) to be packaged within it. Chromosomes are composed of DNA strands that contain sections, called genes, which encode the bodys genetic information. Each chromosome consists of two chromatids joined at their centres by the centromere, which is involved in cell division

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of a supercoiled DNA chromosome. Created through computer artwork, it vividly represents how DNA, known as deoxyribonucleic acid, is tightly coiled and packaged within chromosomes. These essential structures are composed of DNA strands containing genes that encode the genetic information of our bodies. The image reveals the complexity and elegance of this biological marvel. Each chromosome consists of two chromatids joined at their centers by the centromere, which plays a crucial role in cell division. The supercoiling phenomenon allows for efficient storage and organization of genetic material within cells. The artist's attention to detail highlights the biochemical nature of this process, emphasizing the interplay between genetics and biology. The cut-out presentation further emphasizes its significance in scientific research and understanding. This conceptual image not only serves as an artistic representation but also acts as a visual reminder of the fundamental building blocks that make us who we are. It symbolizes our interconnectedness with nature and underscores the remarkable intricacies present within every living organism. Photographed by Tim Vernon from Science Photo Library, this print stands as a testament to human curiosity about our own existence while celebrating science's ability to capture such wonders on film.
