Question

Which is the most accurate representation of the organization levels of the genetic information in cells?

a. genome --> genes --> nucleotides --> chromosomes
b. genes --> nucleotide --> chromosomes --> genome
c. nucleotides --> genes --> chromosomes --> genome
d. chromosomes --> genes --> nucleotides --> genome

Answer 1

c. nucleotides --> genes --> chromosomes --> genome

Step-by-step explanation:

Nucleotides are the monomers that are bonded together by phosphodiester bonds to make long strands of nucleic acids. One nucleotide has a pentose sugar, a base, and a phosphate group. Deoxyribonucleotides polymerize to form long strands of DNA. Gene refers to a part of DNA that codes for a specific polypeptide. Genes are arranged on the thread-like structures called chromosomes in linear order. One or more chromosomes together make the genome of the organisms that regulate their genetic traits.
