C. Chromosomes contain several genes, which are made up of sequences of DNA
Explanation:
Genes and chromosomes are two essential terms for understanding genetics. Genes are portions of DNA, while chromosomes are condensed DNA molecules.
Genes are portions of DNA that present the information necessary for the synthesis of a messenger RNA molecule and consequently a protein.
Chromosomes can be defined as highly condensed DNA. In the human species we have 46 chromosomes in the nucleus of our cells. These chromosomes are arranged in pairs, that is, we have 23 pairs of chromosomes. The chromosomes of a given pair are called homologues.
