Chromosomes are made of DNA.
A small section of a chromosome, that codes for a particular trait or chracteristic is called a GENE.
So the answer to your question is genes are found on chromosomes.

Genes are found on chromosomes. Only a small percentage of a chromosome is actually comprised of genes.

Genes are sections of chromosomes.
Think of a long chain with many metal links joined together. If the whole chain is a chromosome, then a section of consecutive lengths is a gene. For example, the 40th through the 180th links could represent a gene.

Genes are part of chromosomes... so genes are found on chromosomes

chromosomes are found in the cell nucleus. the chromosomes contain genetic material
think of it like this: consider gender, male or female
each human cell will have a an x chromosome and a y chromosome if the gender is male (female is xx) .
the dna, the genetic material, is found inside each chromosome.
