Linker DNA

Explanation:

  • A nucleosome is a part of DNA which is wrapped around a core of proteins;each octamer of histone is composed of two copies each of the histone proteins
  • There are four histone proteins H2A, H2B, H3, and H4
  • The chain of nucleosomes is then compacted further and forms a highly organized complex of DNA and protein called a chromosomes
  • 34 base pairs of linker DNA is present between adjacent nucleosomes
  • Linker DNA can vary widely in length in different types of tissues and cells

Linker DNA, connecting two successive nucleosomes consists of  chromosomes

Explanation:

  • Chromosomes are not visible in the cell’s nucleus—not even under a microscope—when the cell is not dividing.
  • However, the DNA that makes up chromosomes becomes more tightly packed during cell division and is then visible under a microscope.
  • Most of what researchers know about chromosomes was learned by observing chromosomes during cell division.
  • Each chromosome has a constriction point called the centromere, which divides the chromosome into two sections, or “arms.” The short arm of the chromosome is labeled the “p arm.”
  • The long arm of the chromosome is labeled the “q arm.”
  • The location of the centromere on each chromosome gives the chromosome its characteristic shape, and can be used to help describe the location of specific genes.
