- Chromosome - Wikipedia
A chromosome is a package of DNA containing part or all of the genetic material of an organism In most chromosomes, the very long thin DNA fibers are coated with nucleosome -forming packaging proteins; in eukaryotic cells, the most important of these proteins are the histones

What are chromosomes? Chromosomes are long strings of DNA (instructions that make your body work), wrapped around special proteins (histones) to make them compact enough to fit into the nucleus of your cells Your chromosomes are like individual books in your DNA library
- Chromosomes Fact Sheet - National Human Genome Research Institute
Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)

chromosome, the microscopic threadlike part of the cell that carries hereditary information in the form of genes A defining feature of any chromosome is its compactness
- What is a Chromosome? Structure, Function, and Role in Genetics
Humans have 46 chromosomes, arranged in 23 pairs One chromosome of each pair comes from your mother, the other from your father That means you carry genetic material from both sides of your family in every cell
- What is a chromosome?: MedlinePlus Genetics
In 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

- Chromosomes 101: The Key to Understanding Your Genome
Chromosomes play important roles within organisms, including in cell division, ensuring DNA is correctly distributed within the new cells Changes in chromosomal structure can lead to serious issues, including illnesses such as cancers or developmental disorders, if the change occurs within sex cells
