Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following lists structures from smallest to largest?
A
chromosome, supercoil, coil, nucleosome, double helix
B
chromosome, coil, double helix, nucleosome, supercoil
C
double helix, nucleosome, coil, supercoil, chromosome
D
nucleosome, coil, double helix, chromosome, supercoil
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The right option is C. Double helix, nucleosome, coil, super coil, chromosome. In the nucleus, the DNA molecule is packaged into thread-like structures called chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Final answer: Genome, Chromosome, Gene, and Nucleotide is the correct order of organization of genetic material from largest to smallest.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer and Explanation: The correct answer: According to the order from smallest to largest, the order will be: Nucleotide, Gene, DNA, Chromatin, Chromatid, Chromosome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Three levels of structural organization of eukaryotic DNA in the cell nucleus are considered in this paper: (i) the chain of nucleosomes; (ii) the solenoidal or superbead (nucleomere) model of compactization of the nucleosomal fiber; (iii) the mode of suprasolenoidal DNP-packing–loops or domains.

Detailed explanation-5: -Chromatin Fibers are Long and thin. They are uncoiled structures found inside the nucleus. Chromosomes are compact, thick and ribbon-like. These are coiled structures seen prominently during cell division.
