* Chromosomes are made up of DNA, which contains the genetic code that determines an organism's traits. This code is passed down from parents to offspring.

* Ribosomes are involved in protein synthesis, but they don't store genetic information.

* Vacuoles are storage compartments within cells and don't contain hereditary information.

* Golgi bodies are involved in packaging and modifying proteins, not carrying genetic information.
