taking some guesses, since no one else attempted...

a- true
b- true
c- true(unless circular DNA as seen in mitochondria requires histones as well)
d- false ??
e- not sure, maybe excluding arginine and lysine, there is variability in other amino acids.

please share the right answers with us...thanks for your efforts.


  #3

a, true

b. true

c. false

d. false

e.?????????


  #4

Can someone explain number 2 plz?


  #7

histones are essential for STABLE dna..

HISTONESH2A,H2B,H3,H4 aggregate to form OCTAMER .histones are positively charged and DNA negatively charged,,So DNA is wound around the outside of octamer to form nucleosome..

also H1 histone between nucleosomes are found..--

CODENSATIONS EVENTUALLY FORMS chromosome.
