The following information is about Chromosomes.

Chromosomes Defined

The DNA in every cell of every organism is divided into chromosomes. Each chromosome carries a number of genes within its DNA sequence. Chromosomes are usually found in the nucleus of cells as a large, diffuse mass of DNA. However, during cell division chromosomes condense into thick, rod-like structures that can be easily seen under a microscope. See Figure B-9.

This definition is in context to Huntingtons Disease. See more contextual defintions for Chromosomes.
