Actually its the other way around. DNA is the structure that contains genes and passes them from generation to generation allowing traits to be inherited. I wish I could go into better detail but I'm more of a physics and chemistry kinda guy.

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.
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.
How are genes and proteins related?
one gene codes for one protein - apex
Do animals and plants have DNA?
no animals and plant cells can not have the same genes.
What do proteins have to do with genes?
Genes are sections of DNA which contain the code to make different proteins. DNA is made of long chains of 4 different chemical bases, A,C,G and T. The combination of these bases provides the information on the sequence of amino acids that make a particular protein.
Are genes and proteins both made of DNA?
Genes are the units of heredity, and are made up of segments of DNA
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.
Is genetics DNA?
No, DNA is the substance from which genes are made. Genetics is the study of genes and their expression.
How are genes made by meiosis?
Genes are not made by meiosis. Genes are sequences of DNA found on the chromosomes.
How are genes are protein related?
Genes are made up of DNA. DNA have codes to form proteins
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.
Where are the genes in the nucleus of the cell?
The genes are located in the chromosomes which are made of DNA.
What is the DNA latter made of?
One part of the DNA latter is made out of chromosomes and genes.
Is it the gene that contains the DNA or the DNA that contains the gene?
Chromosomes are made up of DNA. DNA is made up of genes.
What is a sentence with gene?
Her DNA had the same Genes as her mother when she had the same blue eyes.
Are DNA or RNA made up of genes?
Amost all organisms have genes that are made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) but there are some kinds of viruses known as retroviruses whose genes are composed of RNA (ribonucleic acid).
What does non-genetic mean?
Not related to DNA. Genes are what are inherited from your parents, which is why you have similar traits to your parents. Genes are made from DNA.
