Question

linker DNA connecting two successive nucleosomes consists of .....1)146 base pairs 2)200 base pairs 3)160base pairs 4)54base pairs​

Answer 1

Answer:

2) 200 base pairs

REASON :

• Linker DNA and the Linker Histone H18.1).
• Each nucleosome in chromosomes is typically associated with approximately 200 base pairs of DNA.
• Subtracting 166 base pairs for two turns around the histone octamer leaves 34 base pairs of linker DNA between adjacent nucleosomes.
