Answer:

nucleotide, gene, DNA, chromosome

Step-by-step explanation:

A nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, pentose sugar, and a phosphate molecule. Several nucleotides are joined together by phosphodiester bonds and make long DNA strands.

A part of DNA that codes for a specific protein product and thereby, regulates a specific genetic trait is called a gene.

DNA is packed with help of packing proteins into a thread like structures called chromosome.

Hence, the ascending order of these structures is: "nucleotide, gene, DNA, chromosome".
