About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are long pieces of DNA that are found in the center (nucleus) of plant, animal and human cells. Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). DNA is the material that holds genes and it is considered to be the building block of the human body.
