Question

Linker histones
(a) h1 , h5
(b) h1 , h4
(c) h2 , h3 , h4

​

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) H1, H5

Explanation:

Histones are the proteins that provides structural support to a chromosome. In order for very long DNA molecules to fit into the cell nucleus, they wrap around complexes of histones proteins, giving the chromosome a more compact shape. Their function is to package DNA into structural units called nucleosomes. Histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 are known as the core histones, and histones H1 and H5 are known as the linker histones as they connect one nucleosome to the other.
