explain the relationship between chromosomes genes and dna
Chromosomes are molecules that consist of a very long strand of DNA coiled many times, and a few proteins called histones which hold the whole structure together. To put things very simply, chromosomes are made up of genes and genes are made of DNA.One could use the analogy; DNA-letters, genes-words, chromosomes-books, genome-collective volume.uch closed parallelism was recognized by Sutton and Boveri between genes and chromo somes. PARALLELISM BETWEEN GENES AND CHROMOSOMES The chromosomes, and therefore the genes, are made up of the chemical substance called DNA.
