Chromosomes: structure and function

The video explores chromosomes, the body's essential DNA carriers. It covers their discovery, structure, and function. Chromosomes are DNA molecules wrapped around proteins, forming a complex structure. They ensure DNA is evenly distributed during cell division. Key parts include chromatids, centromeres, P and Q arms, and telomeres. Chromosomes protect genetic material and are crucial for cell replication and longevity.
