Chromosomes are threadlike structures composed of linear strand of DNA and associated proteins.
They are present in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
Functions of chromosomes:
- DNA present on the chromosome not only carries most of the genetic information but also controls the hereditary transfer.
- Chromosomes are essential for the process of cell division, replication, division, and creation of daughter cells.
- Chromosomes are often called the 'packaging material' because it tightly holds the DNA and proteins together in the eukaryotic cells.
