Question

which of the following lists accurately represents the increasing complexity of genetic materials?
gene, chromosome, cell, base pairs, dna
gene, chromosome, dna, cell, base pairs
base pairs, dna, gene, chromosome, cell
dna, base pairs, gene, chromosome, cell

Explanation:

Base pairs are the building - blocks of DNA. A gene is a segment of DNA. Chromosomes are made up of DNA and proteins, and genes are located on chromosomes. A cell contains chromosomes within its nucleus. So, the correct order of increasing complexity is base pairs, DNA, gene, chromosome, cell.

Answer:

C. base pairs, DNA, gene, chromosome, cell
