The correct response is Chromosomes.

The scientist is implying that genes, which are segments of DNA found on chromosomes, are made of DNA because chromosomes are also exclusively located in the nucleus. In contrast, proteins, gametes, and amino acids are not restricted to the nucleus; proteins are found throughout the cell, gametes are a type of cell involved in reproduction, and amino acids are the building blocks of proteins found in the cytoplasm and throughout the cell.
