Answered by GPT 3.5
Genes are segments of DNA that contain the instructions for making proteins, which are essential for the structure and function of living organisms. Genes are located on chromosomes, which are structures made of DNA and proteins that are found in the nucleus of a cell. Each chromosome contains many genes, and the number and arrangement of chromosomes in a cell determine the genetic information that is passed on to offspring. In this way, chromosomes are the carriers of genes, and together they determine the genetic traits and characteristics of an organism.
