Tangled strands of DNA are in Prokaryotic cells. This is because the DNA is free floating. The proteins are most likely tangled in the protein molecules.

What is DNA wrapped around in a nucleosome?
They're called histone proteins. There are 8histones proteins in which a loop of DNA wraps around twice. Then another histone protein called the H1 linker binds them together.
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.
What is the structure in the nucleus that is composed of large amounts of DNA?
Chromosomes are composed of DNA. They are found within the nucleus and the DNA is in a super-coiled state. Also, the DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones and packed into structures called chromosomes.
What role do proteins play in enabling the enormous amount of DNA in a eukaryotic cell to lit into the nucleus and what are those proteins called?
Histones are proteins which help to tightly pack the DNA into the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. A histone octamer (8 histones together= 2 of H3, 2 of H4, 2 of H2A and 2 of H2B) is formed and the DNA is wrapped 1.65 times around these 8 tightly packed histones forming a nucleosome. There are many nucleosomes along the DNA and together they look similar to a pearl necklace, with the beads being the nucleosomes. The nucleosomes can then be packed together even more tightly (like in heterochromatin) by other proteins.Histones
What is the DNA called when it is found loose in the nucleus and is wrapped around histones?
This tertiary structure of DNA is commonly called "beads on a string."
DNA is wrapped around a special protein?
DNA is wrapped around histone proteins. They are called nucleosomes and resemble "beads on a string" when viewed closely.
What role do proteins play in enabling the enormous amounts of DNA in the eukaryote cell to fit into the nucleus and what are the proteins called?
DNA that is not being "used" by the cell is wrapped up around proteins called histones.

What is the role or proteins in a chromosome?
Chromatin is tightly coiled and wrapped around proteins called histones to form structures called chromosomes
Thread like structure in the nucleus?
Chromatin, which is DNA wrapped around proteins.
DNA is wrapped around a special type of protein which is the name of these proteins?
Histones
What is the DNA in linear eukaryote chromosomes is wrapped around proteins?
Histones.
What is the structure in the nucleus that is composed of large amounts of DNA?
Chromosomes are composed of DNA. They are found within the nucleus and the DNA is in a super-coiled state. Also, the DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones and packed into structures called chromosomes.
What role does papain play in the extraction of DNA?
Papain contains protease which is an enzyme that is responsible for removing the proteins in DNA. Which would be the histones, in which DNA is wrapped around
