Concept explainers
In the list of four terms below, which term is the second most
inclusive?
a. Genome
b. Allele
c. Chromosome
d. Gene

Introduction:
The DNA act as genetic material which carry information that passes to the next generation. The DNA includes genes and every gene contain a pair of alleles. The DNA present in nucleus divided into chromosomes (long strand of DNA).
Answer to Problem 1MCQ
Correct answer:
The chromosome is the second most inclusive present in DNA. Therefore, option (c) is correct.
Explanation of Solution
Reason for the correct statement:
The living organism contains DNA as genome in which, genes are present, which contain a pair of alleles. The long strands of DNA are present in the form of chromosomes in cells. Thus, in the given above term chromosome is second inclusive.
Option (c) is given as “chromosome”.
As “the DNA present in cell in the form of chromosomes. So chromosome is second most inclusive” is the right answer.
Hence, option (c) is correct.
Reasons for the incorrect statements:
Option (a), is given as “Genome”.
The living organisms contain DNA as genome or genetic material. It does not categorize under second most inclusive. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (b), is given as “Allele”.
Every gene contains a pair of allele which is present in DNA. It does not categorize under second most inclusive. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Option (d), is given as “Gene”.
Gene is present within the DNA. It does not categorize under second most inclusive. Hence, it is a wrong answer.
Hence, options (a), (b), and (d), are incorrect.
Thus, the chromosome terms present as a second most inclusive.
