Answer:
Packing of Dna
Explanation:
Eukaryotic cells possess a set of positively charged, basic proteins called histones which are rich in basic amino acid residues lysine and arginine. Histones are organised to form a unit of eight molecules, called histone octamer. The negatively charged DNA is wrapped around the positively charged histone octamer to form a structure called nucleosome. A typical nucleosome contains 200 bp of DNA helix and nucleosomes form the repeating unit of a structure of the nucleus called chromatin.
