Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain genetic material in the form of DNA. Each chromosome consists of a long DNA molecule wound around proteins called histones. The DNA in a chromosome carries genes, which are the instructions for building and maintaining an organism. Chromosomes come in pairs, with one inherited from each parent, and are organized into different regions such as telomeres, centromeres, and chromatin.
The chromatin packages the DNA to a smaller sizes to fit in a cell for the DNA to be strengthen to go through meiosis and mitosis. The chromatin also controls the expression of the genes and the replication of DNA.
the chromatin is what transforms into the chromosomes. Chromosomes then duplicate themselves so that the cell can multiply and become 2 or 4 depending on what type of cell. SEP
Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.
Chromatin is found in the nucleus as fibers. When these fibers coil up they form chromosomes.

Structure on which genes are inherited?
chromosome
What is a structure that contains DNA in a eukaryote cell?
chromosome
What is a structure joining two threads of a chromosome?
centromere
Is a chromosome a allele?
No, a chromosome is a structure that contains genetic information, while an allele is a specific variant of a gene located on a chromosome. Chromosomes contain many alleles that determine an individual's traits and characteristics.
What is a sat chromosome?
A sat chromosome, short for satellite chromosome, is a chromosome with a secondary constriction that contains highly repetitive DNA sequences called satellite DNA. These regions appear as small, secondary appendages on the chromosome and play a role in chromosome structure and organization.
