Chromosomes are structures made of DNA and proteins that carry genetic information. The DNA is tightly wound around proteins called histones, forming a complex called chromatin. This chromatin further condenses to form chromosomes during cell division to ensure the accurate segregation of genetic material to daughter cells.
