Etymology
Chromosomal comes from the Greek parts chroma meaning 'colour' and soma meaning 'body', the same root you see in chrome. Under the microscope these tiny 'bodies' pick up colour and look like dark threads, so chromosomal refers to those coloured, thread-like bodies in cells that carry genes.
