Question
**Question 5:** Which of the following models represents the genetic material that governs inherited traits?

**Model Options:**

- **A:** A nested diagram where the outermost circle is labeled "chromosome," followed by "nucleus," "cell," and the innermost circle is labeled "gene."
  
- **B:** A nested diagram where the outermost circle is labeled "cell," followed by "chromosome," "gene," and the innermost circle is labeled "nucleus."
  
- **C:** A nested diagram where the outermost circle is labeled "gene," followed by "chromosome," "nucleus," and the innermost circle is labeled "cell."
  
- **D:** A nested diagram where the outermost circle is labeled "cell," followed by "nucleus," "chromosome," and the innermost circle is labeled "gene."

**Explanation of Diagrams:**

Each model option consists of a set of nested circles, each labeled with a biological term. The placement of the labels suggests a hierarchy or structural relationship between the terms. The task is to identify which model correctly represents the organization of genetic material within a cell that governs inherited traits.
