Chromosomes are thread like structure usually present in the nucleus and become visible only during cell division.
these contain hereditary information about the cell.
they are of two components
- Dna (deoxyribonucleic acid
- proteins
functions:
- they contain information for inheritance of features from parents to next generation in the form of dna as they consist of genes.
- functional segments of dna are called genes.
- in non-dividing cell dna is present as a part of chromatin material.
- where ever is cell is about to divide , the chromatin material gets organised into chromosomes and preform cell division..
