Final answer:
DNA wraps around histone proteins to form nucleosomes that are further compacted into chromatin and chromosomes.
Explanation:
The DNA double helix is wrapped around histone proteins to form structures called nucleosomes. Nucleosomes and the linker DNA in between them are coiled into a 30-nm fiber. During cell division, chromatin is further condensed by packing proteins.
