In the nucleus of each cell, DNA is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of DNA tightly coiled around proteins called histones that support its structure. Chromosomes play a vital role in heredity, mutation, variation, and evolutionary development of species.

This picture shows the organization of chromatin including DNA's double helix structure and how DNA winds around core particles to form nucleosomes. From there, the DNA continues to wind upon its self until a chromosome is created. The function of genes in DNA is to code for the creation of proteins to be used in the body. A genome is all the genes one person has. For example, the human genome is approx. 30-35,000 genes. (Picture obtained from McGraw-Hill Connect).
