Answer:

The correct option is C. A gene is a specific segment of DNA on a chromosome

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is false because a gene is a segment on a chromosome.

Option B is false because a chromosome carries many genes.

Option D is false because a gene carries a segment of DNA, not all of the DNA.

Option C is correct because there are many genes present on a single chromosome. Each gene carries a segment of DNA. The position of a gene on the chromosome is known as its loci.
