Gene, DNA, Chromosome

1 answer

The correct arrangement from smallest to largest is:

Gene, DNA, Chromosome

Here's the reasoning:

  • A gene is a segment of DNA that contains the instructions for making a specific protein or set of proteins.
  • DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that carries genetic instructions, and it is made up of many genes.
  • A chromosome is a structure that consists of DNA wrapped around proteins, containing many genes.

So the correct answer is: Gene, DNA, Chromosome.
