Question

difference between nucleosome and nucleotide​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Nucleosome is a package of eight histones wrapped in DNA. Main Difference. Nucleotides are building blocks of nucleic acids (DNA and RNA).Nucleotide contains a nitrogenous base, sugar and a phosphate group and nucleoside contains only a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.

Answer 2

Answer:

The nucleosome is a section of DNA that is wrapped around a core of proteins.

The nucleotide is the basic building block of nucleic acids. A nucleotide consists of a sugar molecule (either ribose in RNA or deoxyribose in DNA) attached to a phosphate group and a nitrogen-containing base.

Explanation:

Following are the differences between nucleoside and nucleotide:

                    Nucleoside

1. A nucleoside is a compound formed

       by the union of a nitrogen base with

       a pentose sugar.

    2. It is a component of nucleotide.

    3. It is slightly basic in nature.

    4. Example - Adenosine.

                    Nucleotide

   1. A nucleotide is a compound formed

      by the union of a nitrogen base,

      nitrogen sugar and phosphate.

  2.  A nucleotide is formed through

       phosphorylation of nucleotide.

  3. A nucleotide is acidic in nature.

  4. Example: - Adenylic acid.
