The association of histone `H1` with a nucleosome indicates

Options

A. transcription is occurring
B. DNA replication is occurring
C. the DNA is condensed into chromatin fibre
D. the DNA double helix is exposed

Answer

C

Explanation

The association of `H_(1)` histone with nucleosome indicates that DNA remains in its condensed form. Concept Enhancer In eukaryotes , DNA packaging is carried out with the help of histone proteins. Nucleosome is the unit of compaction . Its core consists of four pairs of histones `(H_(2)A,H_(2)B,H_(3)andH_(4))`. The linker DNA, consisting of `H_(1)` histone connects two adjacent nucleosomes. They together constiute chromatosome . it gives rise to a chromatin fibre after further condensation.
