Considering that chromosomes are structures that carry genetic meterial, what role do chromosomes and genes play in inheritance and the determination of traits.

Answer AND Explanation:

Chromosomes are thread-like structures found in the nuclei of cells. They contain the genetic material, the DNA. Chromosomes exhibit characteristics behaviour during cell division. Cell division ensure transmission of genetic material and contribute to inheritance from the parent to offspring when the chromosomes separate. Gene codes for a specific protein by specifying the order in which the amino acids are linked together, thus a gene determines the traits of an organism.
