Question

which of the following incorrectly matches the term with its location?
dna is found in a chromosome.
chromosomes are found in the nucleus of a cell.
genes are located in a nucleotide.
nitrogen bases are located in the central rungs of a dna ladder.

Explanation:

• DNA is a component of chromosomes. Chromosomes are located in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
• Genes are segments of DNA, not located within a single nucleotide. Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA.
• Nitrogen bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine) pair up to form the "rungs" of the DNA double - helix (ladder - like structure).

Answer:

Genes are located in a nucleotide.
