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.

∙ 9y agoChromosomes 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.
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.
Chromosome present in nucleus of eukaryotic cells .
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.
If you said a whole DNA strand was a rope and you cut it up into strips those strips would be genes.
20% because im a scientist and i know k.thanks ;)
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.
ur genes come from ur parents' genes
No, chromosomes are made of genes and DNA. Gene sequences make up DNA, and this DNA is coiled up and makes up chromosomes.
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.

DNA is like a blueprint for your body. DNA is the place where you find your genes and help conduct cells.

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.
