Answer:

Chromosomes are like a ball of yarn in the sense that there are multiple components that make up the structure. Genes can be in similitude of the smallest threads in the yarn and when a multitude of genes are put together they make a DNA strand or a long, thick thread of yarn. Lastly, when DNA is twisted together, it becomes bundled together, making a chromosome or a "ball of yarn".
