Difference between genes and chromosomes

1) A gene is a locus on chromosome while a chromosome is the most condensed structure of a DNA molecule with proteins

2) Gene is composed of either DNA or RNA while chromosome is composed of only DNA

3) In genes, mutations are small, and occur either in DNA replication or consequent DNA damage while in chromosomes, mutations are relatively large since they occur in homologous recombination

4) In genes, mutations include insertions and deletions while in chromosome, mutations lead to chromosomal abnormalities such as duplication, deletion, rearrangement and inversion of genes
