<span>The answer is c. Chromosomes carry the codes for hereditary traits. Chromosomes are thread-like structures made of proteins and DNA. Codes for hereditary traits are present in a molecule of DNA. Chromosomes can be found in the nucleus of each cell. Humans have 46 chromosomes in each cell (not 460) arranged in 23 pairs (not 230). Hope this helps. Let me know if you need additional help!</span>

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

Chromosomes refer to the compositions found within the nucleus of the cell that comprises genes of an individual. The genes refer to the DNA segments, which comprises the code for a particular protein, which functions in one or more kinds of cells in the body.  

A chromosome comprises thousands of genes, and each of the normal human cell comprises 23 pairs of chromosomes, thus, a sum of 46 chromosomes. More than one gene present within a chromosome determines a trait known as a gene-determined characteristic. This trait or characteristic passes from one offspring to another. Thus, it can be said that the chromosomes carry the codes for hereditary traits.

Plantae: Autotrophic, Multi- or Monocellular, have cell walls as well as a membrane, have a chloroplast making the characteristic green color and to capture sunlight for photosynthesis. Break down generated glucose into it's components.

Animalia: Heterotrophic, Multi- or Monocellular, have a cell membrane made of a phospholipid bilayer, and many mitochondria to aid with movement energy. Feed on plants or other animals. Eukaryotic cells.

Fungi: Heterotrophic, most Multicellular, have a rigid cell wall made of chitin, specialized cells to aid with decomposition of dead organic matter. Eukaryotic cells.

Protista: Can be plant-like, animal-like, or fungus-like. Most are single-celled, may be chemosynthetic or photosynthetic. Eukaryotic cells.

Archeabacteria: Prokaryotic. Do not have nuclei or membrane-bound organelles. Move around using a flagellum to propel itself. Lives in mainly fluid environments (air, water). Separated from Eubacteria due to it's high tolerance of extreme conditions, such as high salinity, no oxygen, burning heat, or freezing cold. Can be chemosynthetic or anaerobic, as well as aerobic.

Eubacteria: Normal, everyday bacteria. Prokaryotic, chemosynthetic, anaerobic, or aerobic. Do not have nuclei or membrane-bound organelles. Mobile using a flagellum to propel itself.
