DNA is wrapped around a special protein?
DNA is wrapped around histone proteins. They are called nucleosomes and resemble "beads on a string" when viewed closely.
What are packages of compact DNA?
They are called Neucleosomes (DNA and histone proteins) and those compact further into chromosomes.
Why is DNA frequently found associated with proteins inside of cells?
Histones are proteins which are associated with DNA and from nucleosomes, which pack the DNA. Transcription factors, proteins involved in DNA synthesis, replication...
What is one set of structures found in the nucleus and made of DNA plus some protein?
They are called chromosomes.Proteins are histone proteins.
The constricted region holding two chromatids together is called a histone?
Sounds more like a centromere. Histones are proteins which are responsible for coiling the DNA up tightly.
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.

They are called chromosomes.Proteins are histone proteins.
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.
What protein does DNA wrap around?
Histones are the major proteins involved in coiling DNA.
The constricted region holding two chromatids together is called a histone?
Sounds more like a centromere. Histones are proteins which are responsible for coiling the DNA up tightly.

chromosome
Histone-DNA units are called?
