Google and previous gave me conflicting answers. Some said DNA are the biggest. Some said DNA are the letters, genes are the sentences and chromosomes are pages. Please help.

DNA is the name of the material that stores information in a sequence of *nucleotides*. Chromosomes are chunks of that material. Genes are sections of these chunks with specific meaning. Your *genome* is all the DNA you have, that’s what is colloquially meant as “someone’s DNA”.
So, DNA = “text”, genome = “book” (about some specific organism), chromosomes = “chapters”, genes = “sentences”, nucleotides = “letters”.
