Option C states that the following statements concerning chromosomes in multicellular creatures are correct. A single DNA molecule plus organizational proteins make up a chromosome.
Explanation:
A chromosome is made up of a single DNA molecule and organizational proteins.
- DNA is used to make chromosomes.
- Chromosomes are a tiny stretch of DNA that serves as the basic functional unit of heredity.
- Chromosomes are DNA and associated proteins that form a complex organization and are found in the nucleus as chromatin fibers.
A chromosome contains hereditary information in the form of a single gene.
- Hundreds to thousands of genes carry the instructions for creating proteins on each chromosome.
- Due to the estimate as 30,000 genes in the human genome produces will be three proteins on average.
Chromosomes are located in the cytoplasm of the cell.
- A chromosome is a single DNA molecule that is quite lengthy.
- The circular chromosome is found in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes in a region known as the nucleoid.
- In eukaryotes, on the other hand, the nucleus is where all of the cell's chromosomes are housed.
