Certain proteins, called histones, act as spools, which wind up small stretches of DNA. Other proteins (including other histones) stabilize and support these spools, making a complex network of DNA coils and proteins.

What is a single molecule of DNA and associated proteins?
a Chromosome
Which are the two main parts that make up a chromosome?
A centromere and a pair of sister chromatids
What is the core of a chromosome made up of?
DNA and proteins called histones
What is the condensed form of DNA referred as?
The highly condensed forms of DNA (and proteins) are known as chromosomes.
What is a chromosome made up of?
Chromosomes are made of a single strand of DNA. There are also some proteins that are bound to this DNA in order to manage it and keep it coiled, these are also sometimes referred to as part of the chromosome.
What is chromosome and what does it do?
A chromosome is a mix of tightly packed DNA and proteins.
What is a single molecule of DNA and associated proteins?

chromosome
What substances are contained in a chromosome?
DNA and proteins (such as histones).
How DNA packaged into chromosome?
By proteins called histones.
What is the signficance of DNA in the chromosome?
DNA and proteins are what a chromosome is mostly comprised of. The DNA serves as code and instructions for the organism, almost like a recipe.
How does DNA and the histone proteins interact to form the chromosome?
the dna is inserted into the active sites of the proteins which causes it to for the chrosmosome.
Which are the two main parts that make up a chromosome?

What is the Thread like strand made of DNA called?
Chromatin. The proteins are histones, used to organize and compact the DNA.
