Genetic Variation
The diversity in gene frequencies within a population, resulting from mutations, genetic recombination, and other sources of genetic diversity.

Chromosomes
Thread-like structures located inside the nucleus of animal and plant cells, made of protein and a single molecule of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), carrying genetic information in the form of genes.
