dominant traits hide or mask the other traits.
traits are passed on through our dna.
remember:

Explanation:

• "Recessive traits hide or mask the other traits": False. Dominant traits mask recessive ones, not the other way around.
• "Chromosomes contain DNA": True. Chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins.
• "Genes contain chromosomes": False. Chromosomes contain genes (segments of DNA), not the other way.
• "Dominant traits hide or mask the other traits": True. Dominant alleles/traits mask recessive ones in heterozygous conditions.
• "Traits are passed on through our DNA": True. DNA (with genes) carries the genetic information for traits from parents to offspring.

Answer:

• Chromosomes contain DNA
• Dominant traits hide or mask the other traits
• Traits are passed on through our DNA
