The molecule that contains genes is called DNA or Deoxyribonucleic Acid. This very very long chain molecule is a polymer of structures called Nucleotides which are made up of three parts. All nucleotides have the same pentose sugar called reibose as the central unit. From this sugar projects a phosphate group on one side, this too is the same in every nucleotide. The final part of the mucleotide is the "Base". This can be one of 4 molecules Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, Cytosine. The Phosphate of one nucleotide bonds to one of the carbons of the next nucleotides ribose. The phosphate of this next nucleotide then bonds to yet another nucleotides ribose and so on until there is a long chain. From the chain projects different cominations of the bases and the pattern is what maked up genes. As all the bonds are covalant it is one molecule and is called DNA.
The DNA molecule contains the genes for the construction of protein molecules.Genes contain instructions for building proteins.
DNA (short for deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that contains these insructions.

Yes, prokaryotes have genes. Genes are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for making a protein or RNA molecule. Prokaryotes have a circular chromosome that contains genes, along with additional genetic material in plasmids.
Yes, because chromosomes are full of genes and DNA
The human genome contains about 24,000 genes.
20.3% of your DNA contains genes
DNA molecules carry out our genes.
One molecule of Oxygen contains two atoms.
Can each chromosome usually contain multiple genes? yes each chromosome usually contains more than one gene.
Genes are the blueprints for making proteins.
