What is DNA tightly wrapped around?
The protein histone primarily.
Is DNA a protein or not?
That depends. DNA undergoing replication is assisted by varieties of proteins to make a new strand. Also, in order for DNA to be coiled into chromosomes, the DNA must be wrapped around the protein histone. But in the actual structure of DNA, no, there are no proteins.
Are viruses unicellular?
Viruses are DNA wrapped up in protein.
What is it called when long strands of DNA are wrapped around themselves?
chromatin
What are chromosomes in the nucleus?
chromosome is structure made up of DNA and histones, a type of protein. DNA in a cell is HUGE (about 2meters long in humans) and in order to fit into a cell, it is wrapped around the histones and coiled up even further to form a chromosome.
DNA is wrapped around a special type of protein?
Histones.
DNA is wrapped around a special type of protein which is the name of these proteins?
Histones

What is DNA wrapped around in a nucleosome?
They're called histone proteins. There are 8histones proteins in which a loop of DNA wraps around twice. Then another histone protein called the H1 linker binds them together.
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.
Are viruses unicellular?
Viruses are DNA wrapped up in protein.

Thread like structure in the nucleus?
Chromatin, which is DNA wrapped around proteins.
What is the DNA in linear eukaryote chromosomes is wrapped around proteins?
Histones.
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.
