Summary Introduction
Concept introduction: Chromosomes are present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and make up the genetic material of an organism. Chromosomes are thin, thread-like structures visible at the time of cell division. Chromosomes are actually DNA in compacted forms that are held together by basic proteins known as histones.
