Question
What is the function of histones in DNA packaging?
Advertisements
Solution
Histone are the basis protein that are rich in arginine and lysine. Histones form octamer on which DNA is wrapped and form nucleosome that means it helps in packaging of DNA in eukaryotes.

In prokaryotes, DNA is circular and present in the cytoplasm but in eukaryotes, DNA is linear and mainly confined to the nucleus. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is a long polymer of nucleotides. In 1953, the first correct double-helical structure of DNA was worked out by Watson and Crick. Based on the X-ray diffraction data produced by Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin. It is composed of three components, i.e., A phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base. Different forms of DNA are B-DNA, Z-DNA, A-DNA, C-DNA, and D-DNA.
Name the linkage present between the nitrogen base and pentose sugar in DNA.
