Yes, genes are constructed from DNA, and the chromosomes are where the genes are held, in the cell nucleus.
Note that the chromsomes are not always visible. Normally the nucleus is just an amorphous mass of genetic material. It only forms into chromosomes at the time of cell division (either mitosis or meiosis), allowing the genetic material to be divided evenly between the two new cells.

∙ 14y agoIn Eukaryotes (cells which have membrane-bound organelles), most of the DNA which makes up the chromosomes is contained in the nucleus. Mitochondria (organelles which release energy from food by a process called respiration) and chloroplasts (organelles which convert energy from sunlight in to food) contain a small amount of DNA.
In Prokaryotes (cells without membrane-bound organelles), the DNA is free floating in the cell.

Is chromosomes found in Golgi apparatus?
No, they aren't. They are found in the nucleus when the cell is in the division process.
Where do you find chromosomes in animal cell?

Where is heredity information found in a cell?
In the chromosomes, which are in the nucleus of the cell.
Where is DNA found in the eukaryotic cell?
DNA is found in the nucleolus, a part of the cell's nucleus that containes the chromosomes.
Where is the chromosome located within the eukaryote cell?
In eukaryotic cells chromosomes are found within the nucleus. The only exception to this is during mitosis (i.e. cell division) when the nuclear membrane disappears and the chromosomes line up at the metaphase plate and then move towards opposite direction in anaphase. Reaching the telophase these are again surrounded by the nuclear envelop.
