Answer:

  • Cell > Nucleus> DNA > Nucleotide .

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to arrange the given terms from largest to smallest.

We know that inside the cell , there is a nucleus . Nucleus in turn contains the genetic material that is DNA or RNA . DNA is the genetic material in most of the organisms while in some of the viruses genetic material is RNA . Finally DNA chain is made up of nucleotides , which is made up of a pentose sugar , a phosphate group and a base . The bases can be Pyrimidines or Purines. Pyrimidines are of two types Adenine and Guanine , while Purines are of three types, Thymine, Cytosine and Uracil . DNA has Thymine (5-Methyl Uracil) whereas in RNA Uracil is present in place of Thymine .

So on arranging them in descending order we have;

Cell > Nucleus> DNA > Nucleotide .
