Question

Which two issues would be most likely to occur if DNA were not stored in chromosomes? A. Important genetic information would be difficult to copy. B. Nitrogenous bases will not stay in a specific order. C. DNA molecules would be damaged or broken. D. DNA molecules would be too small and would pass out of the cell.

Answer 1

A and C

Step-by-step explanation:

Describe a chromosome.

A chromosome is a lengthy DNA molecule that contains all or a portion of an organism's genetic code. The very long, thin DNA strands in the majority of chromosomes are covered with packaging proteins, the most significant of which being the histone proteins in eukaryotic cells.

The problems that would most likely arise if the DNA were not kept in the chromosomes of the cells would be that the DNA molecule would get damaged or broken and it would be challenging to duplicate the crucial genetic information into daughter cells.

A and C are the proper choices as a result.
