    This DNA is tightly packed into structures called chromosomes, which consist of long chains of DNA and associated proteins. In eukaryotes, DNA molecules are tightly wound around proteins - called histone proteins - which provide structural support and play a role in controlling the activities of the genes.

    The proteins are called Histone proteins. Chromosomal DNA is packaged such that the strands of DNA are wound around histone proteins and fold into complex ways to form chromosomes. The histone proteins are positively charged proteins that strongly adhere to negatively charged DNA and form complexes called nucleosomes. Each nucleosome is composed of double-helical DNA wrapped.
