This tertiary structure of DNA is commonly called "beads on a string."
DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones in the cell nucleus.
The name for strands of DNA wound around proteins is chromatin. Chromatin is made up of DNA and proteins called histones, which help organize and condense the genetic material within the cell nucleus.
The structure in the nucleus that is composed of large amounts of DNA is the chromosome. Chromosomes consist of tightly coiled DNA wrapped around proteins called histones, and they are essential for storing and organizing genetic information. Humans typically have 46 chromosomes, which are present in the nucleus of each cell.
Histones are found in the cell nucleus, where they help package and organize DNA into structures called nucleosomes. Nucleosomes consist of DNA wrapped around histone proteins, forming the basic unit of chromatin. Histones play a key role in regulating gene expression and chromatin organization.
Loose bound DNA is called chromatin. Chromatin consists of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones, and it helps organize the genetic material within the nucleus of a cell.

The DNA is wrapped around histone proteins to form nucleosomes, which then coil up to form chromatin. This complex helps package the long DNA molecule into a more compact structure, which allows it to fit inside the cell nucleus.
DNA that is not being "used" by the cell is wrapped up around proteins called histones.

The genetic material that is tightly wrapped around proteins is called chromatin. Chromatin is made up of DNA and proteins called histones, and it helps to condense the DNA into a compact form that can fit inside the cell nucleus.
Chromosomes are found inside the nucleus of a cell. They are composed of DNA tightly wrapped around proteins called histones. Humans typically have 46 chromosomes, which come in 23 pairs.

Chromosomes contain DNA within the cell nucleus.
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
