C. Linker regions of about 50 bp that connect neuclosomes


  #3

Where did you find the answer? or is it a guess? Because I can't find it in Kap or goljan.

DrVirgo, it's in Kap biochemistry lecture, on DNA structure when he talks about Histone and DNA structure. In euchromatin, DNA twists around histone octomer forming nucleosome, but there are linker regions in between nucleosome.


  #5

the H1 Histone is the linker histone assoc. w/ the linker DNA found between nucleosomes to help packaging... It doesn't say anything about 50bp, (that was my doubt) but I guess thats the right answer.

Thanks.

I jus read that they are linker and size may vary so C is the most likely

GOOD Q, THANKS
