You have that backwards: chromosomes are made up of genes.
The above sentence is literally true of the single circular chromosome in Prokaryotes.
However in Eukaryotes it is much more complex: chromosomes are made up of genes (which are made up of exons and introns), gene control codes), at least one centromere (only one of which is functional if there is more than one), at least two telomeres (to prevent the two ends of the linear chromosome from unraveling and also believed to reduce the chance of cancers), and many sections of unknown function generally believed to be genetic "junk" that does nothing but occupy space in the chromosome.
The term "junk" DNA has now been discovered to be places where genes have been turned off or hidden.

Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
Are genes are made up of smaller molecules known as chromosomes?
No, chromosomes are made of genes and DNA. Gene sequences make up DNA, and this DNA is coiled up and makes up chromosomes.
What is located in the nuclei on chromosomes?
it is made up of PROTEINS and DNA MOLECULE, it is located in the nucleus.
Is a gene a complete chromosome?
No, chromosomes are made up of many genes
What is made up of DNA and is located on the chromosomes inside the nucleus?
genes

No, chromosomes are made of genes and DNA. Gene sequences make up DNA, and this DNA is coiled up and makes up chromosomes.
What is Found in the nucleus of cells and made up of genes?
Chromosomes
What are chromosomes made up of?
Chromosomes are made up of many genes joined together like beads on a string.
What is located in the nuclei on chromosomes?
it is made up of PROTEINS and DNA MOLECULE, it is located in the nucleus.
Is a gene a complete chromosome?
No, chromosomes are made up of many genes
What are made up of genes?
Genes are made of DNA (or RNA - not in humans). They are sequences that encode for a functional product (usually a protein). Chromosomes contain genes.
A chromosome is made up of DNA and protein in the nucleus of a cell?
Wrong, Chromosones are made up of DNA and DNA contains genes.
What is made up of DNA and is located on the chromosomes inside the nucleus?
genes
How are genes chromosomes and DNA related?
if a cat has 38 chromosomes in each of its body celss, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell after mitosis?
Explain how DNA genes and chromosomes are related?
DNA is the molecule that genes are made of. Chromosomes are the (arbitrary) clumping that genes form in cells.
What is made up of DNA and are located on the chromosomes inside the cells nucleus?
genes
