उत्तर

The term “chromosomes” literally means coloured bodies.

Explanation:

The term "chromosomes" literally translates to "coloured bodies." This term is derived from the Greek words "chroma," meaning colour and "soma," which means body. It reflects the ability of chromosomes to absorb specific dyes and become visible under a microscope, allowing scientists to examine and distinguish between them.
