Question
what is the main function of chromosomes in an animal cell?
to break down sugar and release energy that the cell can use
to sort and package proteins and other substances
to contain the information that the cell uses for growth and activities
to store water, waste, and nutrients, such as sugar, in the cell
Chromosomes in animal cells carry genetic information (DNA) that guides cell growth, division, and activities. The option "to contain the information that the cell uses for growth and activities" matches this function. Breaking down sugar (mitochondria), sorting proteins (Golgi), and storing substances (vacuole) are other organelles’ roles.
