Chromosomes present in the nucleus have _ function in the cell.
Correct answer: A. Hereditary
- A. Hereditary
- B. Secretory
- C. Power house
- D. Food synthesis
- E. Protein formation
Explanation
Chromosomes are thread-like structures made up of DNA and proteins, and are present in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. They carry genetic information in the form of genes that are responsible for the transmission of hereditary traits from one generation to another. Therefore, chromosomes have a critical function in the cell as they play a major role in the inheritance of traits.
