$\huge\tt\underline{Answer}$

structure of chromosomes

Each cell has a pair of each kind of chromosome known as a homologous chromosome. Chromosomes are made up of chromatin, which contains a single molecule of DNA and associated proteins. Each chromosome contains hundreds and thousands of genes that can precisely code for several proteins in the cell. Structure of a chromosome can be best seen during cell division.

Functions of Chromosomes:

1) The main function of chromosomes is to carry the genetic material from one generation to another.

2)Chromosomes play an important role and act as a guiding force in the growth, reproduction, repair and regeneration process, that is important for their survival.

3)Spindle fibres attached to centromere help in the movement of the chromosome during cell division.
