Chromosomes, on the other hand, are structures within cells that contain DNA. They are composed of DNA tightly coiled around proteins. Chromosomes serve as the packaging and organizing units for DNA in the cell.
Therefore, while chromosomes do contain DNA, the specific sections responsible for carrying genetic information are genes, making DNA the correct answer.
