Science / Genetics / Chromosomes: The self- replicating genetic structures of cells containing the cellular dna that bears in its nucleotide sequence the linear array of genes. In prokaryotes, chromosomal dna is circular, and the entire genome is carried on one chromosome. Eukaryotic genomes consist of a number of chromosomes whose dna is associated with different kinds of proteins.
