Chromosomes are not long strands of DNA. Genes are one form of long strands of DNA, specfied by meny amino acids, which are in turn specified by a codon, or three nucleotide bases. DNA actually coils or wraps around the chromosomes during certain stages of development.

What is it called when long strands of DNA are wrapped around themselves?
chromatin
What is the DNA in linear eukaryote chromosomes is wrapped around proteins?
Histones.
Is DNA organized on chromosomes?
DNA in the cell is wrapped around histones to create a 30 nm fiber which is organized into chromatin.
Of what are chromosomes composed?
Chromosomes are DNA wrapped around histones
When DNA is in long strands prior to colling?
When DNA is in long strands prior to coiling it is in the form of : Chromosomes
What is the name for strands of DNA wound around proteins?
chromosomes. The DNA is genes that are tightly wrapped around proteins. The proteins are histones.
What is it called when long strands of DNA are wrapped around themselves?
chromatin
What is DNA wrapped around proteins called?
Tangled strands of DNA are in Prokaryotic cells. This is because the DNA is free floating. The proteins are most likely tangled in the protein molecules.
When the cell is preparing to divide the material that thickens and becomes the chromosomes is what material?
Its not exactly that there's a material that thickens and becomes chromosomes as much as that the Chromatin (DNA) gets wrapped around certain proteins (Histones), which condenses it, and makes it visible in the form of Chromosomes (long strands of DNA that have been wrapped tight enough around proteins that they are visible),So the answer you're looking for is either chromatin or DNA (i think that's what you meant by your question)
Where is DNA organized in animal cells?
they organise DNA by collecting the 23 chromosomes from the nucleus of the sperm and the egg (the mother and father) when they fertilise and when they divide the chromosomes will divide with them making the zygote

What are cables that guide chromosomes?
DNA strands.

What are the names of the proteins DNA strands wind themselves around to condense into chromosomes?
Histone proteins
Are chromosomes strands of DNA?
Each chromosome has a single strand of DNA.
