Explanation:

• a: DNA complexed with proteins forms chromatin.
• b: Genes are made of DNA, encode heritable traits, and are organized on chromosomes.
• c: Each chromosome contains DNA molecules, has a locus specifying position, and is part of the nuclear genome.
• d: Chromosomes together constitute the cell's nuclear genome.
• e: Genes encode heritable characteristics called traits.
• f: Each gene has a specific position called a locus.
