Question

What is a Chromosome

Answer 1

Chromosomes are structures formed by a DNA molecule associated with protein molecules. In prokaryotic cells, we observe a circular chromosome; in eukaryotes, chromosomes are linear and located inside the nucleus.

Answer 2

A chromosome is a deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule with part or all of the genetic material (genome) of an organism. Most eukaryotic chromosomes include packaging proteins which, aided by chaperone proteins, bind to and condense the DNA molecule to prevent it from becoming an unmanageable tangle.
