Which statement about chromosomes is true? (1 point)

Question

• Chromosomes are found in sets of three.
• DNA contains chromosomes.
• Chromosomes contain DNA.
• The same number of chromosomes appears in haploid and body cells.

Answer 1

The true statement about chromosomes is: Chromosomes contain DNA.

To clarify the other options:

• Chromosomes are not found in sets of three; they come in pairs (diploid) or single sets (haploid).
• DNA does not contain chromosomes; rather, DNA is packaged into chromosomes.
• The same number of chromosomes does not appear in haploid and body cells; body cells (diploid) have two sets of chromosomes, while haploid cells (like gametes) have one set.
