In eukaryotic cells, DNA is packaged with proteins into structures called

chromosomes. What advantage do chromosomes provide the cell?

• They ensure equal division of genetic material when a cell divides.

• They allow random distribution of genetic material when a cell divides.

• They allow all genes to be expressed at the same time.

• They eliminate the need for a nuclear membrane.
