Dear student 
Each chromosome is made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).Chromosomes are thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells. DNA contains the specific instructions that make each type of living creature unique.

Chromosomes are present as thread like structures packed inside the nucleus of a plant cell or animal cell. Each chromosome is made up of protein and a single molecule of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid).
RNA is synthesized in nucleus but found mainly in the cytoplasm of the cell. Hence, chromosomes are not made of RNA.
Therefore, chromosomes are made of DNA and protein.
