Answer 1

Answer:

A. Genes are found within chromosomes.

Explanation:

A chromosome is a single linear, coiled DNA molecule that contains part or even all the genetic material of an individual. On the other hand, genes are chromosomal segments that contain the instructions required to encode a specific protein, which is stored in the form of a sequence of nucleotides. In consequence, a chromosome may have many genes. In biology, a gene is considered to be the basic physical and functional unit of heredity.
