Answer:
A. Genome, Chromosome, Gene, Nucleotide, Deoxyribose
Explanation:
According to this question, genetics as a branch of Biology is not exclusive of hierarchical basis. The following is an orderly sequence from LARGEST to SMALLEST in terms of molecular size:
Genome - Chromosome - Gene - Nucleotide - Deoxyribose
- The GENOME constitutes the whole genetic make up of an organism. This includes all the chromosomes contained in that organism.
- CHROMOSOME is the structure on which the inheritable unit called GENE is found.
- GENE is the molecular unit of inheritance which is made up of nucleotides.
- NUCLEOTIDES are monomers of nucleic acids made up of pentose sugar (dexyribose or ribose), nitrogenous base, phosphate group.
- DEOXYRIBOSE is a five carbon sugar that forms part of the structure of a nucleotide.
