MCQ on Nucleosome Model of Chromosome




A nucleosome is the basic unit of DNA packaging in eukaryotes. It consists of a segment of DNA wrapped around a core of histone proteins. Nucleosomes help condense and organize DNA, regulating access for processes like transcription and DNA replication. This is an MCQ on Nucleosome Model and Organization of DNA in the Nucleosome.
