Dna is typically found in cells in the form of a very long strand that is coiled many times and contains thousands or millions of nitrogen bases. which term best describes this very long molecule of dna?
a) chromosome
b) gene
c) allele
d) nucleotide

The correct answer is- A) chromosome.

Chromosome can be described as thread like structure that is composed of nucleic acid DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid), which is tightly wound around histone protein many times that support its overall structure.

They are found in the cells of living organisms as very long strands.

The nucleic acid DNA is made of small units called nucleotides ( that contain nitrogenous base, phosphate, and deoxyribose sugar).

Genes ( segment of DNA that correspond to particular protein) are located on chromosomes and they are inherited by offspring from their parents.

Allele is the variant of a gene ( alternative form of a gene).

Thus, option A) is the right answer.

this is a good question! i'll do some research and come back when i have the answer!

just finished the test, the answer is d, greg is the least cost-effective because he charges the most for the project
