During cellular respiration, carbon dioxide is released to the atmosphere during the formation of acetyl coenzyme A<span>. This step involves the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvic acid, the result of which is carbon dioxide. This carbon dioxide is uptaken by plants and used in the process of photosynthesis to produce glucose.</span>

<h2>Answer:</h2>
The correct statement is option A which is, "A gene is a segment on the DNA. DNA is wrapped in proteins to form a chromosome".
<h3>Explanation:</h3>
- A gene is the part of DNA in the nucleus which encodes for the specific trait in the body. DNA is the nucleotide sequence which is the blue print for the whole organism. It contains genes for all the structures and functions in the body.
- So it is very long sequence containing the million of genes. So in nucleus it is present in compress form. It is wrapped on the histones proteins and condense and supersondense into a specific structure which is known as chromosome.
