DNA is wound tightly to form a ____ ?
A
DNA
B
Chromosome
C
Gene
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA is tightly packed up to fit in the nucleus of every cell. As shown in the animation, a DNA molecule wraps around histone proteins to form tight loops called nucleosomes. These nucleosomes coil and stack together to form fibers called chromatin.

Detailed explanation-3: -A single length of DNA is wrapped many times around lots of proteins? called histones, to form structures called nucleosomes. These nucleosomes then coil up tightly to create chromatin loops. The chromatin loops are then wrapped around each other to make a full chromosome.
