Take apart the two words "heredity" and "vehicles". Heredity means the passing of physical or mental characteristics whilst vehicle is a transportation device. Chromosomes carry genetic information through genes. Therefore they are the method where characteristics are transported (usually by procreation).

What role do chromosomes play in inhertance?
Genes are located on chromosomes. Genes are simply regions on chromosomes that code for polypeptides.
What discovery that chromosomes are involved in inheritance was made possible by the invention of the?
microscope
Why do sex-linked trait follow different pattern of inheritance than other traits?
males and females have different sex chromosomes
Who discovered inheritance?
In 1910, Thomas Hunt Morgan discovered the sex linked traits to chromosomes.Sex linked traits are the traits controlled by genes located on the sex chromosomes.Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes 22 of these pairs of homologous chromosomes are called autosomes. The 23rd pair of chromosomes is called the sex chromosomes and is indicated by the letter x for females and the letter y for males.If you are female then your sex chromosomes are homologous, XX, if you are male your sex chromosomes are XY.
What is cytogenetics?
(used with a singular verb) the branch of biology linking the study of genetic inheritance with the study of cell structure, esp. for human chromosome analysis for the detection of inheritable diseases. The branch of biology that deals with heredity and the cellular components, particularly chromosomes, associated with heredity.

What role does the chromosomes play in inheritance?
I have no idea sorry!
What role do DNA and chromosomes play in heredity?

What role do chromosomes play when they make proteins?
What role do chromosomes play when a cell makes proteins
What role do chromosomes play in inhertance?

What role do chromosomes and genes play in determining a child's heredity?
Genes are the basic unit of genetic inheritance. Chromosomes are the structures inside cells that contain the entire genome. Naturally, genes and the chromosomes that contain them, and how genes arrange themselves on the daughter chromosomes during meiosis are critical to the process of determining the heredity of the offspring.
What are the Structures that may play a role in regulating the way genes are transcribed?
chromosomes
Are chromosomes found on genes?
Genes are located on chromosomes and not chromosomes are located on genes. genes are the basic unit of inheritance and they resides on chromosomes.
How do Sutton's observations about chromosome support the chromosome theory of inheritance?
Sutton's theory is that chromosomes have something to do with the inheritance of traits of their parents. His observation is that grass hoppers have 24 chromosomes but their sex cells only have 12
What did Walther Flemming prove?
that chromosomes are connected to inheritance.
The law of independent assortment states the the inheritance of alleles for one trait is not affected by the inheritance of alleles for a different trait if the genes for the traits are on?
separate chromosomes
What role does genes play in life science?
there are 23 chromosomes in an egg and sperm cell these then combine
Do autosomes play a direct role in sex determination?
No. Autosomes are chromosomes with information on them about being "human".
