DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
Chromosomes are made of DNA, which is a long molecule containing genes that provide instructions for building and maintaining an organism. DNA is wrapped around proteins called histones, forming a complex structure known as chromatin that makes up chromosomes.
A diatomic molecule is one made up of two atoms of the same element; for example, in O2 or N2. A molecule made of two different elements is called a heteronuclear diatomic molecule, such as CO or HCl.
They are called polysaccharides. They are made up of many monosaccharides
A fat molecule is made of three fatty acid molecules attached to a glycerol molecule. The fatty acids provide energy storage and insulation, while glycerol serves as a backbone for the fatty acids to attach to.
1. A molecule can be made from two identical atoms: O2 (two oxygen atoms in the molecule of oxygen) 2. A molecule can be made also from two or more different atoms: NaCl, C2H5OH, (NH4)2U2O7, etc.

Chromosomes are long strands of DNA that contain our genetic information. DNA is the molecule that makes up chromosomes, and it is organized into genes on the chromosomes. Each cell in our body contains a set of chromosomes that help determine our traits and characteristics.
Yes, because chromosomes are full of genes and DNA
A gene
DNA
The DNA molecule.
DNA is the molecule that genes are made of. Chromosomes are the (arbitrary) clumping that genes form in cells.
Chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA wraps around proteins called histones to form structures called nucleosomes, which then coil and condense to create chromosomes. Each chromosome contains a single, long DNA molecule.
The difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule is that a chromosome is a single DNA molecule associated with proteins and a DNA molecule is a long thin molecule that stores genetic information.
Yes, chromosomes contain tightly compacted DNA and proteins. Chromosomes are the form that DNA is found in when the cell is undergoing division, during other phases the DNA is less tightly coiled.
Chromosomes do that part.
