Identify the correct order of organization of genetic material from largest to smallest :

Options

  1. AGenome, chromosomes, nucleotide, gene
  2. BGenome, chromosome, gene, nucleotide
  3. CChromosome, genome, nucleotide, gene
  4. DChromosome, gene, genome, nucleotide

Correct answer

B. Genome, chromosome, gene, nucleotide

Step-by-step solution

In eukaryotes, the organisation of DNA is much more complex and is carried out by a set of positively charged basic protein called histones. Basic amino acid residue lysines and arginines with charged side chains are abundantly found in histones. Nucleosome is formed when the wrapping up of negatively charged DNA around the positively charged histone octamer occurs. To complete about 1¾ turns, about 200 bp of DNA is wrapped over nu-body, this forms nucleosome of size 110×60 Å. With about 80 base
