(b) Gene learns from chromosome

(c) Chromosome contains gene

(d) Gene contains chromosome

The question was asked during an interview for a job.

The origin of the question is Chromosomal Theory of Inheritance-1 in section Principles of Inheritance and Variation of Biology – Class 12

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) Chromosome contains gene

For explanation I would say: The chromosome is composed of many genes. Hence the behavior of gene was similar to the observed movement of the chromosome during the process of cell division.
