Answer 1

Chromosome is basically made of DNA and proteins.

Step-by-step explanation:

Chromosomes contain thread like structure present inside the nucleus of the cell.Chromosome is generally made of DNA and proteins(Histone proteins).

The DNA is wrapped around the basic protein histone to provide support the chromosome structure.

The wrapping of DNA around the histone proteins helps in the formation of nucleosome which helps in the packing of DNA inside the chromosome.
