I am looking for guidance on when the use of reflexive pronouns is correct?
The following question triggered my curiosity:
The genes of higher organisms are borne on chromosomes, ribbons of DNA much longer than any single gene itself.
Why is the use of "itself" incorrect?

Hi,
There are in fact two mistakes in this sentence. 'Ribbons of DNA' Incorrectly refers to Genes instead of Chromosomes. When Reflexive pronoun immediately following its corresponding noun or Pronoun, the corresponding noun or pronoun should be the subject of the sentence, which is not the case here. Hope this helps. Thank you
