Detailed explanation-3: -Our cells contain many structures that are essential for living. One of these key structures is a chromosome. Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of every cell of our body and are made up of DNA, tightly coiled around proteins.

Detailed explanation-4: -A chromosome has generally 8 parts; Centromere or primary constriction or kinetochore, chromatids, chromatin, secondary constriction, telomere, chromomere, chromonema, and matrix.

Detailed explanation-5: -Genes are segments of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that contain the code for a specific protein that functions in one or more types of cells in the body.
