Chromosomes are thread-like structures made of DNA found in the nucleus.
Chromosomes are made up of chromatin, which contains a single molecule of DNA
Each chromosome contains hundreds and thousands of genes
They are not visible in an active nucleus but are seen during cell division.(mitosis and miosis)
Each species have a different set of chromosomes
For Eg:-
Humans- 46 chromosomes in 23 pairs
Dog – 78 chromosomes in 39 pairs
We get 23 chromosomes from our father and 23 from our mother, which makes 46 chromosomes.
All chromosomes are not exactly like one other.
The main function of chromosomes is to carry the genetic material from one generation to another
Chromosomes protect the DNA from getting tangled and damaged
