Answer

Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of cells where they appear as thread-like structures. Each chromosome is made up of a single DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) molecule and protein, mainly histones. The DNA molecule is passed from parents to offspring and contains the specific instructions that make every living creature unique.
