'''Chromosomes''' (literally: ''colored bodies'', from [[Greek]]) are packaged units of [[DNA]] and associated proteins.<ref>http://learn.genetics.utah.edu/units/disorders/karyotype/whatarechrom.cfm</ref> The chromosome carries portions of the hereditary information of an organism. The DNA is tightly coiled many times around proteins called [[histone]]s that support the chromosome structure.<ref>http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/basics/chromosome</ref> The bound DNA units are called [[nucleosome]]s.
