What holds chromosomes together?

Chromosomes are held together by protein structures called histones, which help package and organize the genetic material within the nucleus of a cell. The histones form complexes around which the DNA wraps, forming a structure known as chromatin. This allows the genetic material to be tightly packed and efficiently stored within the cell.


What does the term chiasma refer?
