point mutation and chromosome?? 
Well, the difference is that one is a type of mutation that affects 1 or few nucleotides in a gene sequence, whilst the other is a threadlike structure of nucleic acids and protein found in the nucleus of cells AND also that it carries genetic info (in the form of genes).

They are related but not directly.
