Assertion. Histones are basic protein of major importance in packaging of eukaryotic DNA. DNA and histone comprise chromatin forming bulk of eukaryotic chromosome. Reason. Histones are five major types H_(1), H_(2)A, H_(2)B, H_(3) and H_(4) .

Assertion :- Positively charged histone proteins are essential for packaging negatively charged DNA. Reason : Without histone protein DNA can not fold due to negative charge.

Assertion : Histone proteins are synthesized during the S-phase when DNA synthesis occurs. Reason : Histone proteins form an association with DNA to form nucleosome.

Assertion: Histone proteins are synthesised during S-phase. Reason: Histone proteins are found associate with DNA to form bead-like nucleosomes.

Assertion : DNA is associated with proteins. Reason : DNA binds around histone proteins that form a pool and the entire structure is called a nucleosome.
