Genes are made up of thousands of chromosomes.

Genes correspond to the phenotype, while chromosomes correspond to the genotype.

Chromosomes correspond to the phenotype, while genes correspond to the genotype.

Answer:

Genes are segments of DNA that are located on the chromosomes of each cell.

Step-by-step explanation:
