Describe the relationship between chromosomes, messenger RNA, and proteins.

A chromosome is a packaged and organized structure containing most of the DNA of a living organism. Messenger RNA is a large family of RNA molecules that convey genetic information from DNA to the ribosome, where they specify the amino acid sequence of the protein products of gene expression. Proteins are large biomolecules, or macromolecules, consisting of one or more long chains of amino acid residues.
