The building blocks of your body are cells. In the cells are nuclei where DNA is located. The DNA is made of chromosomes which contain all the information or codes that make you who you are. These codes we call genes. The number of chromosomes varies with the species. We, as humans, have 23 pairs.

What are chromosomes and genes composed of?
Genes are composed of DNA. Chromosomes are composed of DNA and proteins. Genes are the sections of DNA which code for a functional product (such as a protein). Chromosomes are the compact, tightly-coiled form of DNA. These appear before the cell undergoes division/replication.
