The function of chrosomes of carrying genetic information from cell generation to another is performed by _________?
Correct answer: B. DNA
- A. RNA
- B. DNA
- C. Histones
- D. Calcium
Explanation
DNA performs the information-carrying role of chromosomes because its replicated sequences can be passed to daughter cells during cell division. Histones are associated with chromosome structure, so they may be chosen by students who mistake chromosome packaging for inheritance.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
