Answer:

1.) Are tightly coiled bundles of DNA

2.) Carry many genes

3.) Are found inside the nucleus of eukaryote

4.) Can be used to diagnose genetic disorders

Step-by-step explanation:

A chromosome is a thread-like structure made up of DNA. The chromosomes are made of DNA which are tightly coiled around protein.

Chromosomes carry hundreds and thousands of genes. The number of genes in a cell outnumbers the number of chromosomes.

In eukaryotic cells, all the chromosomes are found inside the nucleus of eukaryote.

The chromosomes and DNA can be examined so as to diagnose genetic disorders.
