What is bigger DNA or nucleotide?

Answer 1

Clearly, a nucleus is much larger than a nucleotide. A nucleotide is essentially a molecule. Therefore, it can only me measured in molecular dimensions. The nucleus is the largest organelle within a eukaryotic cell.

Answer 2

Nucleosome is larger indeed. Nucleotide is a single unit (monomer) of DNA or RNA which are polymers of nucleotides. Nucleotide is just a molecule consisting of ribose sugar, nitrogenous base (adenin, thymin, cytosin, uracil, guanin) and a part of phosphoric acid.

While nucleosome is pretty large complex of 8 proteins (2x histones H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) and 146 nucleotides-long DNA.

Answer 3

A DNA nucleotide is composed of a nitrogen base (adenine, guanine, thymine, or cytosine), a deoxyribose (sugar), and a phosphate. Hundreds, if not thousands or more, of these DNA nucleotides make up a chromosome. So, a chromosome is larger than a DNA nucleotide.

Answer 4

The nucletide is larger. The base is actually a part of the nucleotide.

Answer 5

A nucleotide is bigger than base sub unit.

Answer 6

DNA is bigger than a nucleotide. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA, which is made up of long chains of nucleotides.

Answer 7

nucleotide
