Chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mole
There are mainly two molecules that function as genetic material in living organisms.
These are ribonucleic acid(RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA).
The organisms having DNA as genetic material require packaging of DNA as it is a long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides.
In the case of human beings, the length of DNA in a cell is approximately 2.2 meters which is very large as compared to the size of the nucleus( approximately 10^-6 meters).
So, the DNA has to be made compact for it to be present inside the nucleus of a cell.
Therefore, the DNA present inside the nucleus of a cell undergoes coiling and compaction through several stages before finally becoming a chromosome, which is shown in the adjoining diagram.
Thus, chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules.

This information is not enough to tell which of the traits-blood group A or O is dominant.
It is known that blood groups A and B are codominant, which means both will express if found together in a heterozygote. However, blood group O is recessive. But from this information, you can conclude that blood group O is dominant. Why is that so?
Let's imagine that father's genotype is AA and mothers' genotype OO and cross them:
Parents: AA x OO
Offspring: AO AO AO AO
Since we have information that daughter has blood group O, we can conclude that O is dominant over A and mask it. This is not true! In this case, the daughter will have blood group A.
Mother's genotype surely is OO (because O allele is recessive, so to express a recessive trait both alleles must be recessive). But, the father cannot be AA, because it must give O allele to the daughter so she can have genotype OO and blood group O. So, the father's genotype is AO. Let's take a look at that crossing:
Parents: AO x OO
Offspring: AO AO OO OO
Thus, in this case, daughter can have genotype OO and blood group O.
4. When you look up to the sky, it appears as a dark circle with halo light at its edges moving across the face of the sun. As it does, depending on the relative position of the person on earth – that determines where they are on the umbra or penumbra of the eclipse, the place becomes a daytime twilight (umbra) or partial twilight (penumbra).
5. A new moon is formed when the moon is in between the sun and the earth. This is converse to the case of a lunar eclipse where the earth is between the sun and moon. In a new moon, the face of the moon that is faced towards the earth is dark because it is not lit by the sun. It is important to note that a solar eclipse is not formed because the moon’s orbit, around the earth, is tilted at an angle.
The plant with the root system is called the rootstock And the portion of the plant with the buds is called the scion
