Explanation

Gene is a small segment of DNA in a chromosome where a piece of genetic or hereditary information is stored. Chromosome is a thread-like structure found in the nucleus of plants and animals. Each chromosome has two chromatids joined at the centre by a centromere or kinetochore. The chromatids bear the genes.
