Which statement about chromosomes is true?

a. The same number of chromosomes appears in haploid and body cells
b. Chromosomes are found in sets of three
c. Chromosomes are found in sets of three
d. DNA contains chromosomes

1 answer

The true statement about chromosomes is:

d. DNA contains chromosomes.

To clarify the other options:

  • a. The same number of chromosomes appears in haploid and body cells: This is false because haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes compared to diploid body cells.
  • b. Chromosomes are found in sets of three: This is misleading; chromosomes are typically found in pairs (diploid) or singular (haploid), not in sets of three.
  • c. Chromosomes are found in sets of three: This is also misleading for the same reason as option b.

Therefore, option d is the correct choice.
