The beadlike complex of DNA wrapped around histone protein is called a:

1. DNA must be compacted many times over to fit inside a nucleus. 2. The first level of packing winds the strand around protein cores. 3. Each beadlike histone-DNA complex is called a nucleosome, and DNA connecting the nucleosomes is called linker DNA. 4. A nucleoid is the DNA-holding region of a prokaryote, and a nucleotide is a single DNA building block. _Source: OpenStax Biology for AP(R) Courses (CC BY 4.0), Ch 10 'Cell Reproduction', sections 10.1-10.5_
