Threadlike structures in a cell nucleus that contain genetic information.
A
Choromosome
B
Cell
C
Gene
D
DNA
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -In eukaryotes, however, genetic material is housed in the nucleus and tightly packaged into linear chromosomes. Chromosomes are made up of a DNA-protein complex called chromatin that is organized into subunits called nucleosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -When the cell is not dividing, the genetic material is loosely dispersed throughout the nucleus in a threadlike form called chromatin.

Detailed explanation-4: -Chromatin is visible as entangled mass of thread like structures. Chromatin is a complex of macro-molecule found in cells, consisting of DNA, protein and RNA. In a cell which is not dividing, this DNA is present as a part of chromatin material.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hence, the correct answer is ‘Chromosomes’
