Genes are sub-portions of the total DNA [strand(s)] of an organisms chromosomal content [or genetic complement].
They are assembled from nucleotides, individual genes are identified by the presence of "upstream" enhancer and promoter sequences, the initiation codon, the protein-coding segment and the termination codon - all are to be found within the nucleotide bases of the DNA double helix strands.

Are chromosomes genes or are genes chromosomes?
Genes are stretches of DNA that contain code to make proteins. Chromosomes are made up of numerous Genes.
Why do we have genes?
So that our cells will know how to make the proteins that they must make to exist.

How are genes relate to the traits of an organism?
Make specific proteins for the cell
What do genes contain instructions for?
Genes contain instructions for building proteins.
What type of molecule dose genes they code for?
Genes code for proteins
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.
