Solution

The correct option is A Chromosome
  • Chromosomes are threadlike structure which is present within the nucleus of a cell (plant cell and animal cell).
  • They are made up of deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA and basic proteins called histones.
  • Chromosomes enclose genes (sequence of DNA) which carries the heredity characteristic or information from the parents to the offsprings.
  • Therefore, they are called heredity vehicles.
  • So, the correct answer is 'Chromosome'
