Answer the following question given this paragraph: 

Chapter 9 1 Figure 9.10 Ligase, as this enzyme joins together Okazaki fragments. 2 A 4 B 6 A 8 C 10 D 12 The DNA is wound around proteins called histones. The histones then stack together in a compact form that creates a fiber that is 30-nm thick. The fiber is further coiled for greater compactness. During metaphase of mitosis, the chromosome is at its most compact to facilitate chromosome movement. During interphase, there are denser areas of chromatin, called heterochromatin, that contain DNA that is not expressed, and less dense euchromatin that contains DNA that is expressed. 14 Telomerase has an inbuilt RNA template.


Q: The dna is wound around proteins called what?


A:
histones
