A chromosome is best described as a **molecule with part or all the genetic material of an organism**. Chromosomes are structures within cells that contain DNA and associated proteins, and they play a key role in the storage and transmission of genetic information during cell division. Each species has a characteristic number of chromosomes that carry genes, which determine inherited traits.
