For your better test preparation and better Biology MCQs preparation, in this section, we are posting Chromosome and DNA MCQs.
DNA molecule is located in the nucleus of each cell, the thread-like structures in which DNA is packaged are called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.
