Histones are proteins which help to tightly pack the DNA into the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. A histone octamer (8 histones together= 2 of H3, 2 of H4, 2 of H2A and 2 of H2B) is formed and the DNA is wrapped 1.65 times around these 8 tightly packed histones forming a nucleosome. There are many nucleosomes along the DNA and together they look similar to a pearl necklace, with the beads being the nucleosomes. The nucleosomes can then be packed together even more tightly (like in heterochromatin) by other proteins.

∙ 11y agoI'm hoping you mean fit. The DNA fits into the nucleus anyway. However, when not in mitosis, the DNA is highly coiled and wrapped around a protein called histone. If not highly coiled and wrapped around histone, it is exceptionally long.

What structure in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells made of DNA?
Chromosomes are made up of DNA.Histone proteins are also used.
Where is DNA stored in a eukaryotic cells?
DNA of eukaryotic cell is present in nucleus.
Difference between eukaryotic cell and prokaryotic cell?
Eukariya means true nucleus.Main difference is Eukariyotes have a nucleus.Having membranous organells is identical to eukaryotes.
DNA is only found in the?
Proteins that are made in the cytoplasm of the cell whereas DNA is found in the nucleus.
A structure found in the nucleus that is made of DNA?
Chromosomes - structures composed of DNA and proteins found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Chromosomes carry the genetic material. Chromosomes - structures composed of DNA and proteins found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Chromosomes carry the genetic material.

What are three components of a typical eukaryotic?
The three main components of a eukaryotic cell is the plasma membrane, cytoplasm, and nucleus. The plasma membrane consists of proteins, phospholipids, and cholesterol.
Does prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells contains nucleus?
No. Only the eukaryotic cells have a nucleus.

Are chromosomes found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells?
there is no nucleus in eukaryotic cells, the chromosomes are found in the mitochondria
How does a eukaryotic cell fit its entire DNA into the nucleus?
It wraps the DNA around proteins, and then coils further forming a compact fiber.
DNA in the nucleus is found in structures called .?
chromosomes
