Order the Structures from Smallest to Largest in a Chromosome

Choose nucleotide → gene → chromatin → chromosome for this organizational hierarchy, with an important distinction between genetic units and chromatin material.

Question

Evidence boundary

The prompt adapts Pearson genetics asset 28972716, retaining all four sequences and their order. “Smallest to largest” follows that exercise’s organizational hierarchy. Chromatin has no single fixed physical size, and chromosomes are composed of chromatin throughout the cell cycle. This is not a general ordering of cells, nuclei, organelles, or every possible DNA fragment.
