a) Chromosomes are called the hereditary vehicles because they are transported from the parents to the offspring to carry genetic information. Chromosomes are thread-like structures found in the nucleus of plant and animal cells. They are composed of proteins and a single molecule of DNA . 

b) The nucleus is called the "brain" of the cell because it holds the information needed to conduct most of the cell's functions.
