DNA is packaged into a chromosome by wrapping around proteins called histones, forming a structure known as chromatin. This chromatin then coils and condenses to create the compact structure of a chromosome.
DNA is tightly packaged into structures called chromosomes, which contain genes. Genes are specific sequences of DNA that carry the instructions for making proteins, which in turn determine the traits of an organism. Each chromosome in a cell contains many genes lined up along its length.
The unit in the cell into which DNA is divided and packaged is called a chromosome. Chromosomes are thread-like structures made of DNA and proteins that carry genetic information. They are located in the cell nucleus.
At the beginning of cell division, DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called a chromosome. Chromosomes are visible under a microscope and contain the genetic material (DNA) of an organism.
The DNA in each chromosome is longer than the diameter of an animal cell. Chromosomes are necessary to package and organize the long strands of DNA within the cell's nucleus. The DNA in a typical animal cell is tightly coiled and packaged to fit within the nucleus, which is much smaller than the length of the DNA in its extended form.

Chromosome
A spooled string of genes packaged in a single unit is called a chromosome. A chromosome is a structure of DNA, RNA, and protein which are found in cells.
DNA molecules appear in the chromosome as tightly coiled structures called chromatin. The DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones, forming nucleosomes. The nucleosomes are then packaged together into a more condensed structure known as chromatin, which ultimately makes up the chromosome.
True. The DNA in a chromosome is tightly packaged and condensed, so the actual length of DNA in a chromosome can be much longer than the physical length of the chromosome itself. This is possible due to the coiling and folding of DNA around histone proteins to form chromatin, allowing for a significant amount of genetic material to be compacted within a small space.
DNA is packaged into structures called chromosomes. Chromosomes are composed of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones, and they are organized within the nucleus of a cell. The packaging of DNA into chromosomes allows for efficient storage and organization of genetic information.

From loose to tight in order of DNA, histones, nucleosomes, 30 nm fiber, looped domains (300 nm fiber), then metaphase chromosome (700 nm chromatid).
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.
