What is the name for strands of DNA wound around proteins?
chromosomes. The DNA is genes that are tightly wrapped around proteins. The proteins are histones.
Chromosomes is composed of DNA and proteins which are tightly compacted and condensed?
Yes - chromosomes are composed of compact DNA which is wound around proteins (called histones).
What basic protein forms the unit around which DNA is coiled in the nucleosomes of eukaryotic chromosomes?
Histones and other associated proteins
How does the structure of a chromosome differ in a prokayote and eukaryote?
Eukaryotic cells have a double membrane, surrounding the nucleus, the organelle that contains several chromosomes. The prokaryote chromosomes are dispersed within the cell and is not enclosed by a separate membrane
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 consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins?
Chromosomes

What basic protein forms the unit around which DNA is coiled in the nucleosomes of eukaryotic chromosomes?
Histones and other associated proteins
What eukaryotic chromosomes contain both DNA and protein tightly packed together to for a substance?
Eukaryotic chromosomes contain both DNA and protein tightly packed together to form Chromatin. Chromatin consists of DNA tightly coiled around histones. DNA and histone molecules form nucleosomes. These are all part of the structure of chromosomes.
How does the structure of a chromosome differ in a prokayote and eukaryote?

What is the role or proteins in a chromosome?
Chromatin is tightly coiled and wrapped around proteins called histones to form structures called chromosomes
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 is the structure of a chromosomes?
Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.
What is the fundamental repeating unit of organization in a eukaryotic chromosome?
The nucleosome is the basic unit that organizes the structure of an eukaryotic chromosome. The nucleosome is DNA wrapped around histone proteins which allows the DNA to condense into chromosomes.
What kind of cell has linear DNA?
All nuclear DNA in eukaryotes is linear DNA. Eukaryotic chromosomes, such as those in human cells, are linear DNA molecules spooled around support proteins called histones.
How do proteins help condense chromosomes?
DNA wraps around proteins that help organize and condense it.
