Chromosomes are made of DNA coiled around protein histones. So no, chromosomes are not smaller, but they are more condensed then when the DNA is unwound in strand form.

∙ 15y agoYes, a gene is smaller than a chromosome. A chromosome is actually made of thousands of genes.

∙ 15y agoYes, since gene is a fragment of DNA. It is the part of the DNA which codes for proteins.

What is the role of proteins in the chromosome?
They help fold and coil DNA to make it smaller.
Chromosome are made up of still smaller units called?
A chromosome is made up of DNA, which has subunits called nucleotides.
Is nucleus smaller than atom?
An atom comprises an atomic nucleus with orbiting electrons. So the nucleus is smaller than an atom. To phrase it the opposite way, an atom is alwys larger than the nucleus (of the same atom of course!!)
What is the order of size between codon chromosome nucleotide DNA and nucleosome?
this is incorrect question, because the size of the DNA is not specified. Without the DNA, it is chromosome > nucleosome > nucleotide. The actual DNA cannot be longer than a chromosome and nucleotide is a monomer of polymeric DNA, so DNA should be somewhere between chromosome and nucleotide.

They help fold and coil DNA to make it smaller.
Does The Y chromosome have any DNA?
Yes, although it has less DNA and is smaller than its partner the X chromosome

At the beginning of cell division DNA and the proteins associated with the DNA coil into a structure called an?
chromosome.

What are the 4 types of DNA?
autosomal dna, X chromosome, Y chromosome,and mitochondrial
What is the most broadest category to most specific category in genetic material in DNA?
genome -> chromosome -> DNA -> gene
Which is more complex chromosome or gene?
A chromosome is more "complex" than a gene.:)
What is the difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule?
The difference between a chromosome and a DNA molecule is that a chromosome is a single DNA molecule associated with proteins and a DNA molecule is a long thin molecule that stores genetic information.
