Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chromosomes consist of coiled and folded DNA along with protein molecules. There are typically 46 chromosomes in most cells in the human body. Histones are proteins that help package DNA into chromosomes, but they are not the structure itself. Chromatids are two identical copies of DNA that make up a replicated chromosome, and they are attached at the centromere. Centromeres are regions of DNA that hold sister chromatids together. Centrosomes are organelles involved in cell division that help organize the spindle fibers.
