The following earlier provided answer, I believe, is wrong:
"A gene is not a single structure or thing. It is made up of the micro-structures that determine a trait. These micro-structures are primarily chromosomes. Chromosomes are pieces of DNA. A single strand of DNA stretched out would be about 3 feet long. A common analogy is that DNA is like the strands of a necklace and the chromosomes are the beads. There are two strands of DNA that intertwine forming a pattern called the "Double Helix"
basically, a gene is part of a chromosome. which all falls underneath DNA"
To my understanding, a chromosome consists of a single DNA string (up to 2 meters long if unfolded) that is tightly curled up around many protein molecules (histone) and around itself (much like old telephone wires after years of use). The resulting bundle is called a chromosome.
A Gene is a particular section of the chromosome's DNA string. There are many such sections on the DNA string - thus it contains (also calls 'codes') many genes - in humans between 500 and 4500 depending on what chromosome. One gene contains information for producing one particular protein. It is the sequence of bases (T, C, G or A) in the DNA gene section that defines which protein.
The beginning and end of a gene section is marked by a start and a stop sequence ( also called codons) of a gene. In DNA the start can typically be the base sequence ATG and the stop sequence typically TAA, TGA or TAG.
Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Each chromosome has a different DNA string. Thus some times you see people wrinting that a chromosome is only a part of a person's DNA. By that, they mean all the DNA in the body - whcih of course is true, since you have 23 different pairs of chromosomes. But that should not be misunderstood as "a chromosome is part of a DNA string" as frequently seen on the net.
Genes are to be found on Chromosomes.
And Chromosomes are singular pieces of DNA, which contain many genes, regulatory elements and other nucleotide sequences.
A gene is a section of DNA that will eventually code for a specific protein. All genes are composed of DNA but not all DNA are genes.
or
It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a polypeptide.
or
A gene is a segment of DNA that will transcript for a specific protein.
Chromosomes contain genes which are segments of DNA.
Genes contain your DNA while proteins are a source that is broken down so your body can continue normal actions(:
A gene is a portion of DNA. It takes multiple genes to make DNA.
1. For operon genes are located near each other. For regulon genes are present distinct site of DNA. 2. Operon may have specific operator for all genes. For regulon each gene have different operator.
the difference between DNA and RNA AS DNA ARE DOUBLE STANDED AND RNA IS SINGLE STANDED
DNA is in genes, and genes are in chromosomes.
The Cells hold the genes. Genes are a part of DNA, which is located in the Nucleus of a Cell.
Chromosomes contain genes which are segments of DNA.
The phenotype is what you will see when genes are expressed in an organism. Karyotype is all the genes in an organisms DNA.
Genes are basic units of Inheritance and are the templates for the creation of proteins, whereas Chromosomes are the molecular structures within the nucleus that contain genes.

it shows genes and different genes
genes are in DNA
DNA Genes and Proteinthe gene is a subunit of DNA, one strand of DNA is copied into mRNA which is then translated into proteins
Recombinants take up the plasmid but do not incorporate it into the DNA. Transformants take up the plasmid and integrate it into the DNA. Recombinants wouldn't express the new genes while Transformants will.
Somewhat the difference between a brick and a brick wall. Chromosomes are made up of DNA molecules collected in units called genes ( leaving all else aside ) with attendant proteins, such as the histone proteins DNA wraps around.
