genes are absent on the chromosome
Answers
Genes are the basic units of heredity and are essentially nucleotides.
A chromosome consists of several such repeating nucleotide units (DNA) wound around histone proteins. (Histone molecules compactly bind the DNA strands into a single, compressed unit during cell division.)
In conclusion, the given statement: "genes are absent on the chromosome" is false.
Hope this helps :)
(p.s - I've given a brief explanation. Let me know if you need any more info.)
Chromosomes are paired long chains within a cell nucleus that are composed of genes (about 20,000 genes per chromosome pair), which are made up of the chemical substance called DNA.
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the cell's genetic material, contained in chromosomes within the cell nucleus and mitochondria. Except for certain cells (for example, sperm and egg cells and red blood cells), the cell nucleus contains 23 pairs of chromosomes. A chromosome contains many genes.
