Which statement is true? there are a number of chromosomes on a given gene; all of these actively code for proteins. chromosomes contain many genes; not all genes are actively coding. dna contains a number of segments that code for specific proteins; these segments are chromosomes. the segments of genes found on chromosomes are made of rna, which codes for protein synthesis.

The statement that is true is that there are a number of chromosomes on a given gene; all of these actively code for proteins. The role of proteins in a chromosome is for gene transfer. The gene transfer found in the DNA happens during mitosis. Chromosomes are inherited from the parents. One chromosome from each of 23 pairs came from each of the parents. The two chromosomes of a pair (except for the sex chromosomes) contain the same genes, but the genes have small differences. The X and Y Chromosomes determine the organism’s sex.
