Answer:
Explanation:
Chromosomes are structures found in the center (nucleus) of cells that carry long pieces of DNA. DNA in the material that holds genes. It is the building block of the human body.
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.

The DNA molecule is bundled by chromosomes, which are threadlike structures found in each cell's nucleus.
- DNA tightly wrapped around proteins called histones keeps the structure of each chromosome in place.
- While the cell is not dividing, chromosomes in the nucleus cannot be seen even under a microscope.
- The DNA that makes up chromosomes, on the other hand, compacts during cell division and may be seen under a microscope.
- The majority of what scientists know about chromosomes comes from research on how they divide during cell division.
- The centromere, which splits each chromosome into two half, or "arms," is a constricting point on each chromosome.
- The "P arm" is a short arm of the chromosome.
