What is chromosom?
Why chromosome called chromosome?
A chromosome is a long DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material of an organism.
Chromosomes are thread-like structures in which DNA is tightly packaged within the nucleus. DNA is coiled around proteins called histones, which provide the structural support. Chromosomes help ensure that DNA is replicated and distributed appropriately during cell division.
