DNA molecule is wound up around proteins called histones to form a structure known as a chromosome. This coiling helps condense the DNA for efficient storage and organization within the cell.
Double Helix
Watson and Crick named the twisted-ladder structure of DNA as a "double helix".
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) has a double helix structure, in which two strands of nucleotides are wound around each other. This helical structure is responsible for carrying genetic information in living organisms.
The nucleosome. The nucleosome consists of DNA wound tightly around a protein called histone. This winding is sort of like coiling up a rope, and allows DNA to be packaged into a smaller space than would otherwise be achieved.

No. DNA is what chromosomes are made of. DNA is wound around proteins like thread on a spool, but since DNA is one long"string", the DNA is wound around many protein "spools", all of which are connected by DNA. This string of DNA/protein "thread on spools" is wound around itself, and wound around itself, and wound around itself a lot more, then (after a pretty intricate process) Wala! You have a chromosome.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
The name for strands of DNA wound around proteins is chromatin. Chromatin is made up of DNA and proteins called histones, which help organize and condense the genetic material within the cell nucleus.
Chromosomes are long, wound up strands of the genetic material, DNA.
