Chromosomes are responsible for carrying DNA or the genetic material that makes an organism unique from the other. They carry the traits that make a plant, a plant organism, an animal, an animal, and bacterium, bacteria. Aside from this, chromosomes carry strands of proteins that make it possible for cells to undergo cellular division. Chromosomes are also responsible for many chemical processes that occur within the cell which ultimately make life a cycle.
Chromosomes, which contain DNA, have several functions. All BUT ONE of these statements is a function of chromosomes. A) Chromosomes determine the traits of an organism. B) Chromosomes provide instructions to make proteins.
The key distinction is that in genetic drift allele frequencies change by chance, whereas in natural selection allele frequencies change by differential reproductive success
