Question

Which of the following lists accurately represents the increasing complexity of genetic materials?
O base pairs, DNA, gene, chromosome, cell
O DNA, base pairs, gene, chromosome, cell
O gene, chromosome, cell, base pairs, DNA
gene, chromosome, DNA, cell, base pairs

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Bases pairs, DNA, Gene, Chromosome, Cell.

Explanation

Nitrogen bases are chemical compounds that compose DNA and RNA, in the case of DNA the bases are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine, while RNA is made up of uracil, adenine, guanine, and cytosine. Additionally, DNA makes up genes, which are structures that store information that is passed on to offspring. Also, genes are organized to form chromosomes (more complex structures) of genetic information. Finally, there are cells, in them are chromosomes, fundamental for the reproduction of an organism. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Bases pairs, DNA, Gene, Chromosome, Cell.
