Topps may have lost its NFL contract in â64, but getting Namath kept those old AFL sets relevantâand fairly valuable. Joe Willieâs rookie card is hard to find centered and because of the myriad of condition sensibilities, itâs one of the most expensive football cards ever to come out of the Topps roster.
Report Abuse. Chromosomes are made up of DNA packaged with histones and other proteins. DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid, an extremely long polymer whose repeating units are each made up of a phosphate plus a deoxyribose sugar plus a nitrogenous base.
DNA molecules are made of two twisting, paired strands. Each strand is made of four chemical units, called nucleotide bases. The bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). Bases on opposite strands pair specifically; an A always pairs with a T, and a C always with a G. The human genome contains approximately 3 billion of these base pairs, which reside in the 23 pairs of chromosomes within the nucleus of all our cells. Each chromosome contains hundreds to thousands of genes, which carry the instructions for making proteins.
