Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.
Homologous chromosomes
DNA is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, where it is tightly packaged into chromosomes. In prokaryotic cells, DNA is found in the nucleoid region, a less organized structure than eukaryotic chromosomes.
The centromere is the structure that connects the replicated chromosomes during cell division. It plays a crucial role in ensuring that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes.
