Question

Chromosomes are made from

• A. proteins
• B. nucleic acids
• C. proteins and nucleic acids
• D. carbohydrates and nucleic acids

Hint:

Chromosome: \[ \text{DNA + Histone proteins} \]

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Recall the composition of chromosomes.
Chromosomes are mainly composed of: \[ \text{DNA and proteins} \] DNA is a: \[ \text{nucleic acid} \] Proteins present are mainly: \[ \text{histone proteins} \]

Step 2: Identify the correct option.
Therefore chromosomes are made of: \[ \text{proteins and nucleic acids} \] Hence: \[ \boxed{ \mathrm{ (C)\ proteins\ and\ nucleic\ acids } } \]
