text: In prokaryotes (see nucleoids) and viruses, the DNA is often densely packed and organized; in the case of archaea, by homology to eukaryotic histones, and in the case of bacteria, by histone-like proteins.
text: Considering that the size of a typical human cell is about 10 µm (100,000 cells lined up to equal one meter), DNA must be tightly packaged to fit in the cell’s nucleus.
text: DNA is packed most tightly during mitosis, when the cell is actively dividing.
text: During the interphase part of a given cell cycle, the DNA may be so loosely packed that individual chromosomes are not distinguishable.
