DNA is like a language. Each nirogen base (adenine guanine cytosine and thymine or uracil in RNA) is like a letter and put alot toghether into a sequence and you’ll get words and sentences. That can be used as instructions
A Chromosome is like two very very very long strands of that DNA but crumpled together into a thick rod. Think of it like a book.
A genome is the sum of chromosomes that an entire species share
