Solution

<!--br {mso-data-placement:same-cell;}--> Chromosomes are the thread-like structures present in the nucleus of a cell. These structures are made up of DNA which carry all the information needed by the cell to function and reproduce. They are responsible for inheritance i.e., transfer of characteristics from parents to the offspring.
