Chromosome is a supra macromolecular organelle formed by the super coiling of the chromatin. Chromatin is composed of a number of proteins and DNA. The strands of DNA that have discrete have genetic information( for the formation of RNA which might do some work) are called genes.

Chromosome is a huge coiled structure consisting of DNA. An organism's genome or entire DNA sequence is separated into several chromosomes, for example 23 homologous pairs in humans and only 4 in fruit flies.
A gene is the sequence of nucleotide bases which code for a specific protein product.
If a genome is the world, chromosomes would be like continents, and genes would be like cities, and nucleotides would be like individual people.
