D) DNA and phospholipids

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Eukaryotic chromosomes are composed of both DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and proteins. DNA contains the genetic information that is passed down from one generation to the next, while proteins provide structural support and help to regulate gene expression. RNA (ribonucleic acid) is also present in eukaryotic chromosomes, but it is not a major component of the structure of the chromosome itself. Phospholipids are important components of cell membranes, but they are not directly involved in the structure or function of chromosomes. Therefore, choice C, DNA and proteins, is the correct answer.
