The association of histone H1 with a nucleosome indicates:
1. DNA replication is occurring
2. The DNA is condensed into a chromatin fibre
3. The DNA double helix is exposed
4. Transcription is occurring
With respect to nucleosome, which of the following statements is incorrect ?
1. | Nucleosome contains 120 bp of DNA helix. |
2. | Nucleosomes are seen as 'beads' on string' under Electron Microscope. |
3. | DNA is wrapped around positively charged histone octamer to form nucleosome. |
4. | Nucleosome is the repeating unit of chromatin. |
(a) | Euchromatin is loosely packed chromatin. |
(b) | Heterochromatin is transcriptionally active. |
(c) | Histone octomer is wrapped by negatively charged DNA in nucleosome. |
(d) | Histones are rich in lysine and arginine. |
(e) | A typical nucleosome contains 400 bp of DNA helix. |
Assertion (A): | Euchromatin is said to be transcriptionally inactive chromatin. |
Reason (R): | In a typical nucleus, euchromatin is the region of chromatin that is loosely packed and stains light. |
1. | Both (A) and (R) are True but (R) does not correctly explain (A). |
2. | (A) is False but (R) is True. |
3. | (A) is True but (R) is False. |
