Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which order best describes the arrangement of structures from smallest to largest?
A
Nucleus, gene, chromosome, cell, DNA, base.
B
Nucleus, cell, chromosome, DNA, base, gene.
C
Base, DNA, gene, chromosome, nucleus, cell.
D
Cell, chromosome, nucleus, DNA, base, gene.
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: -Nucleosomes in turn form the repeating unit called chromatin which are thread-like stained bodies. Later, the chromatin fibres are further coiled and condensed to form chromosomes. Hence, the correct order is DNA → Nucleosome → Chromatin → Chromosome.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA, genes and chromosomes work together to make you who you are. Chromosomes carry DNA in cells. DNA is responsible for building and maintaining your human structure. Genes are segments of your DNA, which give you physical characteristics that make you unique.
