Question 1 Report

Which of the following is a function of the chromosome?
Answer Details
The function of chromosomes is to transmit hereditary traits from one generation to the next. Chromosomes are made up of DNA, which carries the genetic information that determines the traits of an individual. When an organism reproduces, its chromosomes are passed down to its offspring, ensuring that the traits are inherited. Protein synthesis, enzyme manufacture, energy production, and excretion are not functions of chromosomes, but rather, functions of other cellular components such as ribosomes, mitochondria, and other organelles.
