What is the role or proteins in a chromosome?
Chromatin is tightly coiled and wrapped around proteins called histones to form structures called chromosomes
Of what are chromosomes composed?
Chromosomes are DNA wrapped around histones
How do proteins help condense chromosomes?
DNA wraps around proteins that help organize and condense it.
What are the names of the proteins DNA strands wind themselves around to condense into chromosomes?
Histone proteins
Chromosomes are strands of DNA wrapped around?
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 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 role do proteins play in enabling the enormous amounts of DNA in the eukaryote cell to fit into the nucleus and what are the proteins called?
DNA that is not being "used" by the cell is wrapped up around proteins called histones.

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)
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.
Describe the makeup of chromosomes?
Human chromosomes are made up of chromatin, which is DNA wrapped around associated proteins called histones. Each chromosome has a single centromere joining the two chromatids. Telomeres are found at either end of the chromosome. They do not code for RNA, they protect the DNA from degradation during replication.
What is the structure in the nucleus that is composed of large amounts of DNA?
Chromosomes are composed of DNA. They are found within the nucleus and the DNA is in a super-coiled state. Also, the DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones and packed into structures called chromosomes.
