A chromosome is a package of DNA containing part or all of the genetic material of an organism In most chromosomes, the very long thin DNA fibers are coated with nucleosome-forming packaging proteins; in eukaryotic cells, the most important of these proteins are the histones

The chromosomes of a cell are in the cell nucleus They carry the genetic information Chromosomes are made up of DNA and protein combined as chromatin Each chromosome contains many genes Chromosomes come in pairs: one set from the mother; the other set from the father Cytologists label chromosomes with numbers [1]

Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) Passed from parents to offspring, DNA contains the specific instructions that make each type of living creature unique
- Chromosome 6 - Wikipedia
Chromosome 6 is one of the 23 pairs of chromosomes in humans People normally have two copies of this chromosome Chromosome 6 spans nearly 171 million base pairs (the building material of DNA) and represents between 5 5 and 6% of the total DNA in cells
