How are chromosomes and genes alike?

They both contain genetic material
they both encode a single protein
They are both found on chromatids
they are both part of DNA

All of the statements are incorrect except for the first one. Chromosomes and genes both contain genetic material. Chromosomes are long thread-like structures made up of DNA and proteins that carry genes. On the other hand, genes are segments of DNA that encode the instructions for building proteins. The other statements are not true as genes do not necessarily encode a single protein and they are not found on chromatids, but rather they are located on chromosomes.
