The correct Answer is:
To solve the question, we need to analyze each of the three statements provided and determine their accuracy based on our understanding of chromatin structure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Chromatin Structure**: - Chromatin is composed of DNA and proteins (histones) and is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. It can be classified into two main types: euchromatin and heterochromatin. 2. **Evaluating Statement 1**: - The first statement claims that "loosely packed and light stained region of chromatin are called as heterochromatin." - This statement is **false**. Loosely packed and light-stained regions of chromatin are known as **euchromatin**, which is transcriptionally active. 3. **Evaluating Statement 2**: - The second statement claims that "densely packed and dark stained region of chromatin are called as euchromatin." - This statement is also **false**. Densely packed and dark-stained regions are referred to as **heterochromatin**, which is transcriptionally inactive. 4. **Evaluating Statement 3**: - The third statement states that "a typical nucleosome contains 200 bp of DNA helix." - This statement is **true**. A nucleosome typically consists of about 200 base pairs of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer. 5. **Conclusion**: - Based on the evaluations: - Statement 1: False - Statement 2: False - Statement 3: True - Therefore, the correct option is that statement 1 and 2 are false, but statement 3 is true. ### Final Answer: The correct option is: **Statement 1 and 2 are false, but statement 3 is true.** ---
