The answer is chromosomes.
When DNA is in long strands, it typically forms chromatin structures by wrapping around histone proteins to condense into nucleosomes. This packaging allows for the long DNA strands to be compacted within the nucleus of a cell. Additionally, the chromatin structure can undergo further condensation to form chromosomes during cell division.

DNA strands are packed into structures called chromosomes. Chromosomes are made up of long strands of DNA that are tightly coiled and condensed to fit inside the nucleus of a cell.
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.
DNA strands.
The structures are called chromosomes.
Chromosomes are long strands of DNA that contain our genetic information. DNA is the molecule that makes up chromosomes, and it is organized into genes on the chromosomes. Each cell in our body contains a set of chromosomes that help determine our traits and characteristics.
Each chromosome has a single strand of DNA.
The nucleus contains chromosomes which contain strands of DNA.
