Centromere and chromatids in cell division Diagram showing the step-by-step process of DNA packaging: DNA wraps around histone proteins to form nucleosomes, which condense into chromatin fibers that further coil and fold to create a compact chromosome structure. Diagram showing DNA winding around blue histone octamers to form nucleosomes, which coil together into a solenoid chromatin fiber. An inset highlights DNA wrapped around a single histone octamer.
