उत्तर

This statement is true.

Explanation:

In eukaryotic cells, DNA is too long to fit into the nucleus in its raw form, so it wraps around “spools” made of eight histone proteins. This combined structure of DNA and histones is called a nucleosome, which looks like “beads on a string” under a microscope. These nucleosomes allow the DNA to be tightly coiled and organised into chromatin, making the genetic material manageable during cell division and gene expression.
