Rank the following genetic structures from smallest to large
Rank the following genetic structures from smallest to largestnucleosome, gene, chromatin fiber, nucleotide, double helix
Rank the following genetic structures from smallest to largestnucleosome, gene, chromatin fiber, nucleotide, double helix
Solution
The order is as follows:
Nucleotide<gene<double helix<nucleosome<chromatin fibre.
Nucleotides are A,T,G,C. They comprise of 1 base pair and are the coding units for gene.
A gene is a functional unit/segment of a DNA. It comprises of 100 to 100s of nucleotides.
DNA is a molecule that carries the gentic information for an organism, structure being double helix.
Nucleosomes are DNA coiled around a core of histone.
Chromatin fibre is a macromolecule comprising DNA+Protein+RNA
