What a thought-provoking question!
Scientists have established criteria about whether a "thing" is living or non-living. For example, two common criteria are respiration and reproduction. However, DNA is actually a chemical compound, and chromosomes are nucleic acids and protein. So, neither one is considered living; both are non-living.
