DNA, the genetic material makes up the genes (the sections of DNA that code for something, like proteins, etc.). The way in which the genetic material is organized in cells is in structures called chromosomes, in which the DNA is tighly packed (to save space, because it is very, very long).

DNA is the polymer of base-pairs (A-T or G-C). A gene is a specific sequence of base pairs at a particular locus that codes for a specific protein. A chromosome is the wound DNA that contains millions of base pairs. They typically wind around proteins called histones in the nucleus and these DNA-histone structures are called chromatin.
