The true statement about chromosomes is: **Chromosomes contain DNA.**
To clarify the other statements:
- "DNA contains chromosomes" is incorrect; rather, chromosomes are structures made of DNA.
- "The same number of chromosomes appears in haploid and body cells" is also incorrect; haploid cells (like sperm and eggs) have half the number of chromosomes compared to diploid body cells.
- "Chromosomes are found in sets of three" is generally incorrect; chromosomes are usually found in pairs (diploid) or singly (haploid), and the specific number of chromosomes varies by species.
