The option that contains all of the other options listed is Chromosome.
Here's how the other options relate to a chromosome:
- Gene: A segment of DNA located on a chromosome that encodes for a specific protein or function.
- Chromatid: A chromosome is made up of two sister chromatids (during cell division), which are identical halves of a duplicated chromosome.
- Centromere: The region on a chromosome where the two sister chromatids are joined together and where the spindle fibers attach during cell division.
Therefore, a chromosome encompasses genes, chromatids, and centromeres.
