    Chromosomes are found inside the nucleus of a cell and are made up of long lengths of DNA. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes in every human body cell, with one chromosome of each pair coming from each parent. A gene is a short section of a chromosome that codes for a different characteristic. DNA, which stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, is a long chain molecule made up of a combination of 4 DNA bases that has a special structure called a double helix. Genes and DNA work together to determine our characteristics.
