Detailed explanation-3: -In the nucleus of each cell, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes. Each chromosome is made up of DNA tightly coiled many times around proteins called histones that support its structure.
Detailed explanation-4: -Genes are part of DNA containing genetical info of the body, they are located in the chromosomes of cells .
