The correct statement is option A which is, "A gene is a segment on the DNA. DNA is wrapped in proteins to form a chromosome".Explanation:A gene is the part of DNA in the nucleus which encodes for the specific trait in the body. DNA is the nucleotide sequence which is the blue print for the whole organism. It contains genes for all the structures and functions in the body.So it is very long sequence containing the million of genes. So in nucleus it is present in compress form. It is wrapped on the histones proteins and condense and supersondense into a specific structure which is known as chromosome.

The right option is; D. An allele is one version of a geneGenes are unit of hereditary, and a segment of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) that carries genetic information which is transferred from a parent to offspring. Every individual possess two copies of each gene that are inherited from each parent. Alleles are alternative forms or version of a gene that has little differences in their sequence of DNA bases. These small differences are responsible for every individual’s unique physical traits.

Humans have approximately 20 000 genes, while they have only 46 Chromosomes - so we see there are a lot more genes than chromosomes and there must be multiple genes per chromosome - B. Every chromosome is made up of many genes. In fact, we know quite a lot about our chromosomes, but we don't even know how many genes exactly we have!
