Question

Which of the following correctly ranks the structures in order of size, from largest to smallest?
a. gene-chromosome-nucleotide-codon
b. chromosome-gene-codon-nucleotide
c. nucleotide-chromosome-gene-codon
d. chromosome-nucleotide-gene-codon

Accepted Answer

Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So we have that amino acids are coded by a blank which is A D. N. A. Or RNA sequence of three blank. Well in order to solve this problem we're going to go all the way back to the central dogma of biology which states that D. N. A. Is transcribed into RNA. And this is then translated into amino assets or proteins. Now, why is this important? Well since amino assets come from DNA or RNA, let's think about what our D. N. A. Or RNA made up of and they're made up of nuclear types. So nucleotides is what we're going to be putting here because this is what D. N. A. Or RNA are going to made up of. Now DNA or RNA are usually arranged Into sequences of three nuclear types. Which is what the question also states. Now, what is the name of these three sequences or of these three nucleotides that create a sequence? Well the name of them is going to be a code um which is when three nucleotides come together. Now looking at this, the correct answer choice is going to be answer choice. So an amino acids is encoded by a code on which is A D. N. A. Or RNA sequence of three nucleotides. I really hope this video helped you and I hope to see you on the next one
