What is the main component of the chromosome?

Think it through first, then pick an option.

  1. a DNA
  2. b RNA
  3. c Gene
  4. d GMO
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a DNA

The chromosome is made mainly of DNA and protein; DNA is the main component.

Why the other options are wrong

  • b RNA: RNA is found in the nucleolus and is not the main component of the chromosome.
  • c Gene: A gene is a part carried on the chromosome, not its component; this chapter says it is made of DNA and protein.
  • d GMO: A GMO is a genetically modified organism, not a component of the chromosome.
