The true statement about chromosomes is: Chromosomes contain DNA.

To clarify the other statements:

  • DNA does not contain chromosomes; rather, chromosomes are made up of DNA.
  • The same number of chromosomes does not appear in haploid and body cells; haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes compared to body (diploid) cells.
  • Chromosomes are not found in sets of three; they typically exist in pairs in diploid organisms.
