Chromosomes, as a thread, use histone protein cores as spools that they use to wrap around and, hence, condense.

Histone proteins


Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of this and DNA?

Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of histone proteins and DNA. The histone proteins help to package and organize the DNA into a compact structure, called chromatin, which allows for efficient storage and regulation of genetic material.


What chemicals are found in chromatin?

The material of CHROMOSOMES. It is a complex of DNA; HISTONES; and nonhistone proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE) found within the nucleus of a cell.

Where in the cell would you find chromosomes?

You would find them in a nucleaus inside the cell.


How do chromosomes turn into DNA?

Replication chemicals trigger during cell replication trigger DNA to wrap tightly around histone octamers (histone proteins) to create nucleosomes, for DNA synthesis. This happens during the prophase stage of cell replication.


What do you call DNA in the nucleus before it condenses to form chromosomes?

DNA forms nucleosomes (beads on the string) by combining histone proteins, nucleosomes condense into chromatins before it forms Chromosomes


In eukaryotic chromosomes DNA is tightly coiled around proteins called?

The "beads on a string" are called nucleosomes.


What is composed of DNA and proteins?

Chromatin is composed of DNA and histone proteins. Histone proteins help package and condense DNA into a complex structure that fits within the nucleus of a cell.


What does chromatin consist of?

Chromatin consists of DNA wrapped around histone proteins. These histone proteins help condense the DNA into a more compact structure, which is necessary for packaging and regulating gene expression within the cell.


Eukaryotic chromosomes contain both DNA and protein tightly packed together to form a substance called?

The complex of both histone and non-histone chromosomal proteins and DNA is known as chromatin.
