There has been a lot of research through the Human Genome Project to determine this. 1.5 percent of DNA in the body is made of Genes.

What percent of the DNA in your chromosomes functions as genes?
Chromosomes contain hundreds to thousands of genes in one very long strand of DNA. The DNA is coiled around proteins called histones. The DNA seems to form a bigger (of course on a very tiny level) part of the chromosome than the histones. Since DNA is comprised of genes, that means that over half of the chromosome is genes. The exact amount would depend on the chromosome.
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.
What structures contain the genes for the traits?
Chromosome present in nucleus of eukaryotic cells .
Is a gene the same thing as a chromosome?
No - genes are sections of DNA found on chromosomes that encode for a functional product (like a protein).Chromosomes are compact structures of DNA and proteins.
How are genes and DNA related?
DNA is desoxyribose nucleic acid. DNA carries the genetic code that determines the characteristics of a living thing. Genes are related to DNA because they are short sections of DNA that code for specific proteins.
What percent of DNA make up genes?
20% because im a scientist and i know k.thanks ;)
Is DNA tied to genes?
Well, yes and no. The genes are not tied to the DNA; they are tied to chromosomes, which make up DNA, in the nucleolus of the cell.
What molecules make up genes?
ur genes come from ur parents' 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.
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.

What does DNA make up?
DNA is like a blueprint for your body. DNA is the place where you find your genes and help conduct cells.

How are genes are protein related?
Genes are made up of DNA. DNA have codes to form proteins
Where is a gene locted?
A gene is a segement of DNA that codes for a particular trait. DNA, and the genes that make up it, are found in the nucleus.
What structures contain the genes for the traits?
Chromosome present in nucleus of eukaryotic cells .
