- What is a chromosome? - MedlinePlusIn the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.
- DNA vs Genes vs Chromosomes: An Overview - Cleveland ClinicChromosomes are structures that look like thread, which live in the nucleus (center) of cells. Chromosomes contain DNA and protein, and they come in different sizes. Proteins called histones allow them to pack up small enough to fit in a nucleus.
- Chromosome - Definition and Examples - Biology OnlineChromosomes are thread-like structures present in the nucleus of plant and animal cells. Chromosomes are the vehicle that carries DNA (the genetic material of the cell) wrapped around by the histone proteins. To easily understand what a chromosome is, let us go through this list of the most commonly asked questions about chromosomes.
- Chromosome - National Human Genome Research InstituteChromosomes are threadlike structures made of protein and a single molecule of DNA that serve to carry the genomic information from cell to cell. In plants and animals (including humans), chromosomes reside in the nucleus of cells.
