Chromosomes consist of two long strands of [[Deoxyribonucleic Acid]] (DNA) that are bound together, and twisted into the shape of a helix (shown above). | Chromosomes consist of two long strands of [[Deoxyribonucleic Acid]] (DNA) that are bound together, and twisted into the shape of a helix (shown above). | ||

The chromosome is made up of mostly deoxyribonucleic acid and proteins. Nucleotides are the bases for how the DNA structure is formed. A gene occupies much of the space within the chromosome. Because of the way that the chromosome is shaped even when the DNA is confined the chromosome can still go through with transcription. RNA is the molecule that tell the DNA what type of proteins will be produced in the different areas of the chromosome. Chromosomes are what make the DNA replicate and reproduce making each of its offspring have half of the parent cells genes.
