What is the primary function of the chromosome?
A
Relay messages between different cells in animals
B
Release energy by breaking down food molecules
C
Store the genetic instructions needed to specify traits
D
Transport waste materials rapidly out of the cell
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -It stores instructions for making other large molecules, called proteins. These instructions are stored inside each of your cells, distributed among 46 long structures called chromosomes. These chromosomes are made up of thousands of shorter segments of DNA, called genes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Chromosomes allow DNA to be accurately copied during these cell divisions. So one more time. Chromosomes are found in the nuclei of our cells and allow DNA to be accurately copied during cell division. This ensures that our inner workings proceed smoothly and efficiently.

Detailed explanation-3: -These two copies of the gene contained in your chromosomes influence the way your cells work. The two alleles in a gene pair are inherited, one from each parent. Alleles interact with each other in different ways. These are called inheritance patterns.

Detailed explanation-4: -Genetic information is carried in the linear sequence of nucleotides in DNA. Each molecule of DNA is a double helix formed from two complementary strands of nucleotides held together by hydrogen bonds between G-C and A-T base pairs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chromosomes’ primary role is to transport genetic material from one generation to the next.
