Solution

The correct option is A Chromosomes
Genes are present on chromosomes which are responsible for particular traits. During sexual reproduction, the chromosomes, along with the genes present on them, are transferred to the offsprings. Since both, mother and father contribute a set of chromosomes, the offsprings look like their parents.
