Answer:

chromosomes

Step-by-step explanation:

Deoxyribonucleic acid, also known as, DNA, is the genetic material in living cells that stores genetic information. However, DNA is supercoiled around certain proteins called HISTONES into an X-shaped threadlike structure called CHROMOSOMES.

Chromosomes are the forms in which DNA is stored and undergoes replication in the nucleus (eukaryotic cells) or nucleoid (prokaryotic cells).
