A
nucleotide, gene, chromosome, nucleus
B
nucleus, gene, chromosome, nucleotide
C
nucleus, chromosome, gene, nucleotide
D
nucleotide, gene, nucleus, chromosome
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Final answer: Genome, Chromosome, Gene, and Nucleotide is the correct order of organization of genetic material from largest to smallest.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct answer is: DNA/nucleotides, gene, chromosome, nucleus, cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -These chromosomes are stored in the nucleus of our cells. So if you put it all together, the order from smallest to largest is option (C), a single gene is smaller than a chromosome is smaller than a nucleus.

Detailed explanation-4: -The largest autosome-chromosome 1-has approximately 2, 800 genes; the smallest autosome-chromosome 22-has approximately 750 genes.
