Answer:

Chromosomes are a threadlike interrelation of nucleic acids along with protein that is found in the nucleus of most/more of living cells and organisms that carries genetic info in the form of genes.

Chromosomes are what give us our characteristics. In the process of reproducing, the father's DNA will travel through the sperm to the eggs. These eggs, being in the mother, will have her DNA as well. Combining these DNA strands, it can make the hair color of a child, the eye color, ethnicity, and skin color.
