Only the second statement is correct as written.
- Chromosomes are stored in the cytoplasm of the cell. — Incorrect. In eukaryotic cells chromosomes are in the nucleus (in prokaryotes there is no nucleus and the chromosome-like DNA is in the cytoplasm/nucleoid, so this statement is misleading without specifying cell type).
- Genes determine the inheritance of traits. — Correct (genes carry hereditary information that influences traits, though trait expression can also be affected by environment and epigenetics).
- DNA is a sequence of proteins. — Incorrect. DNA is a polymer of nucleotides (a nucleic acid), not proteins; it encodes information used to build proteins.
- Genes are made of many chromosomes. — Incorrect. Genes are segments of DNA located on chromosomes; chromosomes contain many genes (the relationship is the opposite).
