Chromosomes genes
DNA molecule is wound up around proteins called histones to form a structure known as a chromosome. This coiling helps condense the DNA for efficient storage and organization within the cell.
When DNA is packed up tightly in dividing cells, it is referred to as a chromosome. The packing process is called DNA condensation.
The structure of wound-up DNA is called a nucleosome. Nucleosomes consist of DNA wrapped around a core of histone proteins, creating a compact and organized form of genetic material. This arrangement helps to fit the long DNA strands into the cell nucleus and plays a crucial role in gene regulation and expression.
The main ingredient of a chromosome is DNA. DNA contains the genetic information that codes for all the traits and characteristics of an organism. Chromosomes are made up of tightly wound strands of DNA wrapped around proteins called histones.
Yes, you can think of chromosomes tightly wound up DNA and chromatin as unwound DNA.

Chromosomes are made up of structures called DNA, which is tightly coiled around proteins called histones. DNA contains the genetic information that is passed onto offspring and is organized into genes that encode for specific traits or functions.

Chromosomes are made up of DNA molecules that are tightly wound around proteins called histones. The DNA contains all the genetic information that an organism needs to develop, grow, and function. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of a cell.
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.
Such a structure is called a Nucleosome
This is called a Chromatid. For example a Human Chromosome that is expanded at 32,000 micrometers long will loop {supercoil} around Histones and end up being just 6 micrometers long!
Chromatin is made up of proteins and DNA. The DNA wraps around proteins called histones to form nucleosomes, which further coil and condense to create chromatin structure. Fats are not a major component of chromatin.
