Answer:

Chromosomes are coiled structures made of DNA and proteins. They contain genes, which basically code for proteins. Chromosomes form after DNA replicates. In other words, chromosomes form as DNA becomes foiled during the process of prophase I, thus creating chromosomes.

Hope this helped! :)
