Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.
Chromosomes are made up of chromatin, tangled DNA networks, that are 'super-coiled' and large enough to be seen by a microscope.

What are the advantages of having large numbers of chromosomes?
Larger numbers of chromosomes mean that the structure has more features. With more chromosomes, the structure is more complex and more detailed.

the round n oval structure in a cell that contains the chromosomes are nucleus.
What is genome anatomy?
Genome anatomy is the structure of all the genetic information in the haploid portion of chromosomes of a cell.
