The correct order starts with the nucleosome, which is the most basic unit of chromatin structure, consisting of DNA wrapped around histone proteins. This is followed by the 30-nm chromatin fiber, which is formed by the packing of nucleosomes. Finally, the looped domain represents a higher level of organization, where the 30-nm fiber is further compacted.
