उत्तर
The basic repeating unit differs between prokaryotes and eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, the loop domain (a supercoiled segment of DNA) serves as the fundamental repeating unit. In eukaryotes, the nucleosome—consisting of DNA wrapped around a histone octamer—is the basic repeating unit, with a diameter of approximately 10 nanometres and containing ~200 base pairs of DNA.
