A chromosome is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism. Prokaryotes usually have one single circular chromosome, whereas most eukaryotes are diploid, like humans. Chromosomes in eukaryotes are composed of chromatin fiber. Chromatin fiber is made of nucleosomes. A nucleosome is a histone octamer with part of a longer DNA strand attached to and wrapped around it.
What is a chromosome? 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 are not visible in the cellâs nucleusânot even under a microscopeâwhen the cell is not dividing. However, the DNA that makes up chromosomes becomes more tightly packed during cell division and is then visible under a microscope. Most of what researchers know about chromosomes was learned by observing chromosomes during cell division.
