Question

What is meant by linker gene?1 mark​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Linker DNA is double-stranded DNA 38-53 bp long in between two nucleosome cores that, in association with histone H1, holds the cores together. Linker DNA is seen as the string in the "beads and string model", which is made by using an ionic solution on the chromatin.

Answer 2

Linker DNA is double-stranded DNA 38-53 bp long in between two nucleosome cores that, in association with histone H1, holds the cores together. Linker DNA is seen as the string in the "beads and string model", which is made by using an ionic solution on the chromatin.

Each loop or knot of DNA is connected to the next by a stretch of unwrapped DNA (called linker DNA) that can be anything between 10 and 50 base pairs long. ... Transcription factors and other regulatory factors will bind more readily to target sites located in linker DNA than in nucleosomes.
