- All the human cells contain a pair of chromosomes
- All eukaryotic chromosomes include packaging proteins called histones which bind to the DNA molecule

When two reproductive cells unite, they become a single cell that contains two copies of each chromosome. Most eukaryotic chromosomes include packaging proteins called histones which, aided by chaperone proteins, bind to and condense the DNA molecule to maintain its integrity Context – Around one in 500 men could be carrying an extra X or Y chromosome, most of them unaware, according to researchers at the universities of Cambridge and Exeter.
