Solution

The correct option is C Chromosomes
  • The nucleus contains chromosomes, which are visible as rod-shaped structures only when the cell is about to divide.
  • Chromosomes contain information for inheritance of characters from parents to next generation in the form of DNA (Deoxyribo Nucleic Acid) molecules.
  • Chromosomes are composed of DNA and protein. DNA molecules contain the information necessary for constructing and organising cells
