Yes, chromosomes are made of DNA and protein molecules called histones. Edit from another user: False, they're made of material called chromatin. Edit from user #3: Chromosomes and chromatin are actually the same thing, except in different form. Both chromosomes and chromatin are made up of a strand of DNA wrapped around histone protein, except chromatin is in a long and stringy form while chromosomes are a compacted and twisted version of chromatin.
What else can I help you with?
What is the difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule?
The difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule is that a chromosome is a single DNA molecule associated with proteins and a DNA molecule is a long thin molecule that stores genetic information.
What is the relationship between a chromosome and DNA?
Chromosomes are long strands of DNA that contain our genetic information. DNA is the molecule that makes up chromosomes, and it is organized into genes on the chromosomes. Each cell in our body contains a set of chromosomes that help determine our traits and characteristics.
Does DNA have chromosomes in it or is it the other way around?
Chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA wraps around proteins called histones to form structures called nucleosomes, which then coil and condense to create chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a single, long DNA molecule.
What is the relationship between chromosomes and genes and between genes and DNA?
Chromosomes are structures made of DNA that carry genes. Genes are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for making proteins. DNA is the molecule that carries the genetic information needed for the development, functioning, and reproduction of living organisms.
Number of DNA molecules in a chromosomes?
Each chromosome contains a single DNA molecule that is highly compacted and coiled around proteins. This single DNA molecule contains all the genetic information for an organism.
Are chromosomes a DNA molecule with many genes?
Yes, because chromosomes are full of genes and DNA
A molecule of DNA is packaged and carried by a larger molecule called?
Chromosomes
What is a DNA molecule segment called?
A gene
What molecule coils into chromosomes for cellular division?
DNA
What molecules make up chromosomes?
The DNA molecule.
What major chemical molecule compose chromosomes?
i think that the answer is DNA i think that the answer is DNA
What molecule carries genetic information?
Chromosomes do that part.
A large molecule which is the main constituent of chromosomes is reffered to as?
The large molecule that is the main constituent of chromosomes is called DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). DNA contains the genetic information that determines the characteristics of an organism.
What is the difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule?
The difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule is that a chromosome is a single DNA molecule associated with proteins and a DNA molecule is a long thin molecule that stores genetic information.
What is the relationship between a chromosome and DNA?

The shape of a DNA molecule is most like?
When Dna is the Rain, chromosomes are the Rainfall.
How many DNA molecules are in a chromosomes?
There is one double helix DNA molecule per chromosome.
