How do proteins help condense chromosomes?
DNA-bound proteins, which serve to package the DNA and control its functions. Nuclear chromosomes are packaged by proteins into a condensed structure called chromatin. This allows the very long DNA molecules to fit into the cell nucleus.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are long pieces of DNA that are found in the center (nucleus) of plant, animal and human cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA is the material that holds genes and it is considered to be the building block of the human body.
About DNA
DNA is the source of our genetic material, and plays a central role in transmission of characteristics from parent to offspring. DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.
