A chromosome is made up of different parts: nucleotides (base pairs), sugar and phosphate (a full chromosome contains other stuff too but that is for a more complex explanation).
The nucleotides are what codes for proteins, so that is the useful or 'coding' information.
The sugar and phosphate form a sugar-phosphate backbone, holding all of the nucleotides together. (type base pairs into Google image to find a picture of this).
A Chromosome is a long strand of these nucleotides which are held together with the sugar-phosphate backbone.
IF UR TALKING ABOUT MEIOSIS then they are held together by spindle fibers.

What is the genetic structures located within the nucleus called?
In the nucleus of each cell in the human body (excluding gametes [23]) there are 46 chromosomes, these chromosomes consist of lots of different genes that all join up together (A to T, G to C) and each gene has a code for a certain part of your body.
DNA is packaged into structures called?
Answer:chromatin not chromosomes. :DIt Is Chromosomes Not Chromatin:]
What structures are genes strung together in?
Genes are strung together in structures called chromosomes. Chromosomes are long, thread-like strands of DNA that contain many genes, as well as regulatory elements and non-coding sequences. In humans and most other organisms, chromosomes are located in the nucleus of cells and are organized into pairs. Each chromosome carries a specific set of genes that contribute to an individual's traits and functions.
What structures are in the nucleus that contains DNA?
The structures in the nucleus that contain DNA are chromosomes. DNA molecules are tightly wound around proteins called histones to form chromatin, which further condenses into chromosomes during cell division. These chromosomes carry the genetic information necessary for cell function and reproduction.
How are the structures prokaryotic chromosomes and eukaryotic chromosomes alike?
Chromosomes are only in eukariyotes.Can not be seen in prokariyotes.

Traits are controlled by a pair of structures that work together Where does each member of this pair come from?
The statement/question doesnt make sense. In an attempt to answer the question: the structures are chromosomes. In humans there are 46 chromosomes, 23 from each parent. There are 23 chromosomes in the egg and sperm which fuse to form a fertilised egg.
